Whiskey Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 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 Quote
BikerScout007 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 @Chopper already started running this one down. Let him chime in. 2 Quote
Whiskey Posted January 4, 2020 Author Posted January 4, 2020 this would be perfect if the straps were longer and didn’t have the extra zippers Quote

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. 1 Quote
Chopper Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 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. 5 1 Quote
Stroker Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 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. Quote

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. Quote
Whiskey Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 Currently looking into this bag. Can’t seem to find a vendor or manufacturer 1 Quote

Whiskey Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 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? Quote

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. 1 Quote

I was gonna say comparing it to the gloves it looks like Nylon. 2 Quote
Whiskey Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 Yea, I’m on the fence on the material. With the lighting, they both have that shine Quote

Harbinger Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 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? Quote
