We’re always fans of products that put old material back to use. When said material happens to be surplus from the military, even cooler. Sword & Plough offers three different bags – an Urban Rucksack, a Messenger, and a Tote – each made from at least 80% repurposed military surplus. The bags are crafted in the U.S. and make use of gortex sleeping bag bivvies, laundry bags, and more. Mixed in is some Colorado leather and a bit of a neat story. It’s a smart and functional way to put that military surplus material to good use, and you benefit.
