【U.S. Military Genuine】Elegant 1986 Vintage Flyers Bag

Genuine US Military 1986 issue S.W.I. made Flyers Kit Bag.

Originally in excellent condition, it faded dramatically after washing...
However, it's clean because it was washed.

Most kit bags are made by TENNIER, but as shown in photo 4, the B.E.S.B. made ones are very valuable due to their superior construction and sewing.

Made of heavy cotton over 40 years ago, it has the typical fading, but there are no holes, and the later YKK nylon zippers and snap buttons are all intact and in very good condition.

There are repairs to holes as shown in photos 4 and 5.
They are on the bottom and not easily visible, and they are completely filled in, so there are no issues with durability.

However, as it is a used US military item, there is a sense of use and scuffing, but there are no defects.

US Military Flyers Kit Bag
Official Name: KIT BAG, FLYERS

Adopted by the US Air Force during World War II,
It is a traditional Kit Bag that has not changed in specifications or shape since the "A-3 Kit Bag". Its main purpose is to store flight equipment for pilots/aircrew when boarding.

There are stencils and markings as shown in the image. The original markings remain intact, giving it the unique atmosphere of a used vintage item. It is a popular item among military fans, and its size is about the same as a medium-sized Boston bag, making it very practical.

By the way, the specifications were later changed to nylon, similar to current products, and the canvas ones are popular!
