Airborne Kit Bag


Kit bags were designed to store and protect the parachute assembly and related equipment. They were large enough to easily fit the complete main and reserve parachute with room to spare. 

What makes these reproduction kit bags so unique? Kit bags are often copied, but rarely replicated.  Practically every other reproduction uses heavyweight 18 oz canvas (postwar style), while original WWII production are made from 12oz cotton duck (very well documented). These are truly no-nonsense replicas, without all the fantasy leather pulls,  sleazy webbing, and altered dimensions of other repros. They also feature the little details often missed - like internal zipper flap  five interior pockets with the selvage edge.  All raw seams are trimmed with period twill tape, and the center flap securely snaps with genuine Scovill fasteners.   

New 2022 run with Talon marked zippers!
