RothcoVintage Medic Canvas Bag With Cross, Mens Crossbody Messenger Shoulder Bag

I loved this bag in high school so, so much. I used it as a purse for a long time. It's perfect for a grungy aesthetic lol. It's very simple and sturdy and can take a beating. It doesn't have pockets or separate compartments, though, so if that's a feature you're looking for, you'll want something else. I am happy I repurchased this eight years later!

The first aid kits that are pre-made are generally not well done and are way more expensive than if you bought your own items individually. Plus, if you organize your own first aid kit, you can customize what you need and will have a better idea where to locate the needed items. I suggest buying clear sided containers to separate out different categories inside the bag. This is also large enough to accommodate what you will need depending on your individual circumstances. I suggest looking up first aid kits on the web to get an idea what you might need. I made up first aid kits for both cars and our home.

Nice bag, wish it had magnets to attach the straps to the bag instead of buckle type.

I've had this for a couple years now and it's still going strong in spite of how many pins and patches I sew onto it. It's big enough to hold my kindle, my clutch wallet, my sketchbook and my pencil case with room to spare. It's sturdy and has no pockets- which I prefer because it's easier to see everything in the bag.It's not a purse like another reviewer complains, but it's definitely not the size of a messenger bag. In spite of this it still holds quite a few items. I've taken it to conventions and fit my sweater inside of it with my other belongings (yes it was rather puffy but it still fit). Some folks find the fact it's a real buckle rather than snaps a draw back, but when you are in an area where you are afraid of sticky fingers, the buckles become a blessing rather than a curse- making your bag more secure.I think the biggest plus is for the price and how well it's made it's easily modified for your geeky tastes. It'd take well to patches and buttons for all sorts due tot he canvas material.

I wore this bag weekly in a very busy environment, and was constantly using it, so the straps experienced a lot of wear and tear and eventually broke after a year, but was more than happy to buy a second one, which I treated with more care and then eventually handed it off to a friend in good condition after another year. Just for reference, I would estimate that it could fit about three 1'1/2 inch empty binders not in weight but just size. I carried an extremely full 1'1/2 inch binder and a First Aid kit in there 24/7 and it all fit fine. Definitely would recommend

Son has a fascination with WWII. Especially the medics. He was ecstatic when this came in and has been using it for months to cary his books and laptop to school every day. Sturdy thin canvassing. Stitching is nicely done. I was worried about the fabric and stitching reinforcements but has held up beautifully. Highly recommend this. Though I have half a mind to line the inside to make this one last decades...

I was looking for a new bag for school and chose this one. First impressions were't bad, a little smaller than I thought but the measurements were in the description so I knew what to expect. There's only one pocket, no smaller pockets for your pens and trinkets, if you do put stuff like that they bulge out awkwardly so I avoid doing that. One major thing is that the bag is VERY delicate. Do not overload it. I put a maximum of 3 lightweight books and it holds but I'm always afraid it might snap so I hold back from doing that only when I have to. Also never get the bag wet, If it rains, use an alternative bag or try to keep it from getting wet because it absorbs the water into the contents of the bag, which makes everything inside wet. If you do buy this bag, buy it for holding small things or daily routine things like small books, tablets, or miscellaneous items. Would not recommend for school unless you have a light load.

exactly as described
