ROTJ Scout Bag


Recommended Posts

Now that I finished my Mandalorian scout bag...
 

 

Pretty sure this topic isn’t new, so here goes nothing.…
 

Been on the search for this vintage bag. 

-Black

-most likely leather

-long shoulder straps (no buckles)

-cylinder type 

looks to be about 8” round and about 16” long

 

anyone have any info?

i think I found one. Just need to confirm

Yep, it was only $15 so I ordered it and it should be in the mail. It'll need some mods to the straps, since the screen used ones don't go all the way around the bag, but hopefully it'll look pretty close in the end.

Here are the ref photos I have:

Bag is cylinder in shape.

The material is shiny and black in color, but it's hard to tell if it's leather or nylon.

The straps do not go all the way around the bag, only sewn onto the top quarters.

Straps are made from webbing and have a tri-glide slider on each strap.

Dude back 3 years ago I searched high and low for that bag pictured. I searched vintage barrel bags over and over and found some like it,but I swore that there's a d ring on the straps. I assume there is? Or is it just me. 

I found one that was a Police issued bag with a d ring with in the strap,but I was told to give up because its was more than likely a UK made item and no one over there had ever found one.

Hmm, is there? I see the tri-glide in the photos above. Can you pick out where you think there's a d-ring?

I linked the images, so you should be able to click to get the higher res.

Also the last picture you have posted I could swear he had his thumb ran through the d ring.

Looks like I’ll be frankensteining a custom bag

 

the straps look black canvas

the bag looks leather (compared to the gloves)

 

Does it appear to anyone else the straps are attached with snaps, rivets, or Chicago screws?

Interesting! I had it down to a barrel bag and a drum bag from that time era. Now I cant for the life of me find the bag. I had it booked marked I know for years.

I was gonna say comparing it to the gloves it looks like Nylon.

Yea, I’m on the fence on the material. 
 

With the lighting, they both have that shine

Without knowing the actual material, it wouldn't matter for CRL purposes.  Leather, leather-like, nylon -- any smooth, shiny black material.

Gotcha. I see what you're talking about. To me that looks like part of the tri-glide, but I'm open to other options! 😁

The bag amazes me. I'd like to know if it's a bashed bag or just something off the shelf. Still I'm stoked you brought this topic back up because I had gave up! Movie magic at its best man!

Now that the movies are in 4K onDisney+ maybe someone can rip a better reference pic.

Hopefully that would help answer some of these questions... Barring that can always see about having a small run of bags made?

It's not easy to have information about this bag. Someone see a leather bag, an other see a nylon bag.

I can't see anythink with this pictrues, so i ask myself if someone know the answer ? 

 

Who made or chose this bag a long time ago  ,in  a galaxy far , far
