Military gear was all originally created with a specific purpose. We cannot, for the life of us, come up with any good reason why the military would create a tote bag, but damn if this tote from U.S. Alteration doesn’t feel like something you’d find in the local Army Navy Surplus. Vintage fabric, pin detail and patch complete the military look on the 18 x 4.5 x 19.” There’s no padded laptop compartment. No special zipper pocket for your phone or your keys. There aren’t even shoulder straps. But if you want a tote bag that’s more manly than your average tote bag, this is the one to get.
