The Rothco Vintage M-51 Engineers Bag is for days when gear, small electronic devices, pens and papers each need their own pocket. Its 16L main compartment closes with a metal turning lock and holds a zipper closure pocket, while 2 hook and loop pockets, an open top pocket and 2 side pockets surround it. Under the main flap, 5 pen holder loops and a plastic document pocket give writing tools and papers a set place.

Why it works:

  • A pocket for every item: Small electronic devices and other gear each get a home in 2 hook and loop pockets, an open top storage pocket and 2 side pockets.
  • Main compartment that locks down: A metal turning lock closes the 16L main compartment, and a zipper closure pocket inside adds security.
  • Pens and papers under the flap: Writing tools and paperwork sit ready in 5 pen holder loops and a plastic document pocket with hook and loop closure, all beneath the main flap.
  • Handle or shoulder strap: Grab the top carry handle when you're on the go, or wear the detachable, adjustable shoulder strap that extends up to 59".
  • Genuine vintage appearance: Heavyweight washed cotton canvas with leather and brass accents gives an authentic vintage feel that also stays naturally water-resistant.

Who it's built for:

For EDC carriers who want a large vintage bag with organizer pockets for gear, small electronics, pens and papers.

In the description, does 'hook and loop' pocket mean it is what is referred to in Australia as a velcro fastener?

Luminary Global

Yes that is correct. "Hook and Loop" is a Velcro fastener.
