The Premium MKVII

The MKVII Premium is a waxed canvas crossbody bag based on the classic World War 2 British Forces gas mask bag, made famous by Indiana Jones. This version keeps the simple, useful shape of the original MKVII and adds leather belts, brass buckles, a top carry handle, a fully lined interior and the Jack Stillman S40 sling. It is compact, practical and built for daily carry without looking like another modern tech bag.

Organised Daily Carry

This bag is made for commuting, day travel, flights, motorcycle rides and the kind of days where you need your gear close but not overpacked. The rear slip pocket gives you quick access from the outside, while the fully lined interior includes multiple pockets for sorting your everyday kit. There is also a micro fleece lined zippered valuables pocket for the small things you do not want scratched, buried or bouncing around loose.

Heritage-Grade Natural Materials

We craft bags from heavyweight beeswaxed canvas, genuine brass, and premium full-grain leather, delivering authentic quality, sustainability, and enduring style that matures beautifully rather than deteriorating.

Waxed Canvas Build

The body is made from water-repellent 16oz waxed cotton twill, with leather front belts, genuine brass buckles and magnetic snap closures. Hidden brass snap buttons sit under the top flap for extra security, mounted on webbing tabs so they are easier to press closed without fighting the body of the bag. The S40 sling is included, and double D-rings on the rear base give you attachment points for extra gear or the Jack Stillman T Brace.

"I love my cross-body bags, so when I saw the MK VII Jones Cross Body bag, it was a must buy for me. The construction is first rate and the bag looks and feels like it was built for anything. Jack Stillman has captured the spirit of adventure with this one and it is my go-to bag whenever I’m heading out."

Made To Wear In

Waxed cotton twill is made to mark, crease and soften with use. The surface can be re-waxed when it needs freshening up, while the leather and brass will develop their own patina instead of trying to stay showroom-new forever. This is the kind of bag that looks better once it has done some miles. Use the magnetic snaps for everyday access, and the hidden brass snaps when you need the flap properly secured.

Adventure, Daily Ready

The MKVII Premium has the soul of an old field bag with the usefulness of something made for now. It is easy to carry, easy to live with, and just different enough to feel like your own. Whether it is slung across your shoulder on the way to work, under the seat on a flight, or riding with you on the bike, it is a proper little carry companion with plenty of character.

I have two other JS bags this is fantastic. You have included a zip pocket as well as a stud pocket. These inclusions have made this bag superior. A great product.

Bought this to replace a reproduction MK VII I had years ago and this is much nicer. The top handle is probably the most practical addition but it is a much more robust product than the original it was inspired from.

Hi John, we're so glad that you're happy with the new MK VII and its improvements. Thanks so much for reviewing!

This a phenomenally high quality bag. So happy to be taking it on my month travelling in North African. Needs "roughing up a bit" now

Hi John, great to hear you're happy with your new bag. The bag is sure to look a bit better with some roughing up, hopefully on your amazing trip to North Africa! Thanks so much for reviewing.

This bag matches the quality of all the Jack Stillman gear I've picked up. It easily holds my tablet, a book, and a few other small items for a day out. I have always loved WW2 Map Cases and this definitely has that aesthetic. I feel like I'll have this bag for decades to come.

Hey mate! We're so glad that you love the MK VII and appreciate its style. Thanks so much for your wonderful review as well, it really helps us. Hope it serves you well for many years to come!

With me now…it’s a great everyday essentials carry. I had the earlier version MKII already which I was very happy with but have now added the new premium version because the updates and extras just make the MKII better.

Hi Peter! Happy to hear you like the new premium MK VII. Thank you for your review & support, it really helps!
