Military-Inspired Simplicity

A faithful tribute to the British WW2 MK VII gas mask bag—famously slung across Indiana Jones’ shoulder. This crossbody design honours utilitarian origins with modern refinement. The compact profile is clean, efficient, and true to its roots: a minimalist carry that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is.

Enduring Build Quality

Made from heavyweight beeswaxed canvas and reinforced with brass hardware, the MK VII is built for everyday function, not fast fashion. Bar-tack stitching and robust cotton webbing ensure it will age gracefully through decades of service—not months.

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.

Internal Organisation, Sorted

"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."

Quality Product!
I am a “slow traveller” and therefore needed something that was going to last me many years. Extremely happy 😃

Just got my new bag, quick delivery too.
It's a quality product that is hard to find these days. I reckon it will last me my lifetime and probably will be loved by my son one day.
Designed in Australia and ethically made in Vietnam.
Would recommend getting one if you're in need of a Man Bag.

Thanks so much for reviewing! We're super glad to hear you like the bag and are happy with the delivery. Enjoy your bag!

I ride a motorbike and this is the perfect size to sling over and carry the essentials.

Hi Andy, great to hear the MK VII suits your needs so well! Thanks so much for your review.

One of the best made pieces of kit I’ve bought in 40 years. The attention to detail and workmanship is well executed. This is the second item we’ve bought, the first was a poncho which is perfect for around the fire with a Bundy. Great stuff and thank you.

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Kel. It's amazing to hear you're happy with your purchases and we appreciate your kind words. Enjoy your new bag!

I previously left a review for the older iteration of this bag, with a lower rating, noting the previous magnetic clips would always become upclipped and did not offer a secure enough closing mechanism for the bag.

I'm happy to report that after receiving the new version of the bag and using it for ~6 months, this is now a 5-star bag and my go-to general day bag. The one major problem I had with it has been fully resolved, and the new press-button clips are heavy duty and work great. They've even solved a potential issue of wear and tear on the clip buttons by adding additional canvas straps for them to clip to, rather than the studs being directly on the bag itself - something that would have added to the cost of production but is a great design choice.

Everything else about the bag is still great - it's bigger than it looks while still offering a small and comfortable profile when wearing it. It looks great and is sturdy and made of high quality materials. I used it very frequently on an overseas holiday for day trips, it was a lot easier than carring around a backpack.

I can't recommend this bag highly enough!

Hi Kevin, thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We're absolutely delighted to hear that the new design improvements have made the MK VII your perfect daily companion. Your kind words about the durability and other features mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your support and recommendation!

Am so pleased to get this. It is so comfortable to wear along with the T brace if needed. Colour inside is helpful to find items and the sizing of the satchel is great also. A quality well made product.

Cheers mate!

Great Aussie made.

It is a great Rachel. Compact yet big enough to carry all my odds and sods.

Fabulous- thanks Allan!

Well made and sturdy. My only criticism is the magnetic clips, because I ride and it is to replace my 20yr old dilly bag. It would benefit from a sturdy closure.

Thank you Andrew. Noted about the magnets. We are currently working on sourcing a new supplier, for sturdier magnets.

Great quality bag that is exactly what I’ve been chasing.
It doesn’t require the maintenance of a leather bag and also looks the part.

Brought for my husband as he was gathering more stuff to carry and it always went in my bag. So my hubby was wrapped on his man bag, and I was happy my bag wasn't full of stuff. Bag has a great amount of space and pockets for sunglasses, keys, and wallet. I even give him my stuff to hold if I don't take my bag. 😆

I didn’t know much about your company, I guess I simply stumbled across you on the internet. I was looking for an all rounder bag for my son to carry his things in, something simple, with style, with a crossover strap, something that would handle a bit of rough treatment. As soon as I saw your product I was hooked straight away. The hardest choice we had to make was choosing the right colour. It was an early Birthday gift from me & he fell in love with it. He has worn it constantly since it arrived, & I couldn’t have chosen a better gift for him. Thank you so much for your quality product, I’m sure he will still be wearing it for many more happy years.

Hey mate! We're super glad to hear your son loves the bag and that it’s become such a special gift. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for supporting our family business, it means a lot. Cheers, Jack Stillman
