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."

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.

Really nice bag and just the right size. The shoulder strap is comfortable. My only issue is that the snap closures are a bit tricky. Maybe a couple of strong magnetic fasteners instead and maybe a couple more further along the bag so I can still close the flap when it's got bulkier items. Thanks!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback. We're glad you love the bag and will pass your suggestions on to our team. Thanks again for leaving a review!

It's a very well made bag with good quality materials and workmanship, very solid and looks good. Should be great for a wide variety of uses.I'd like one a maybe a little bit larger and with maybe a buckle strap (or two) for the flap to make it even more secure. Also a drawstring lining at the top inside to keep out any heavy rain or dust and help to stop anything falling out.I realise changes could make things more costly. Overall I'm quite pleased with the bag and expect to get years of various uses out it!

Thank you so much for your feedback Darren! We're glad you love the bag's quality and design. We'll pass on your thoughts for improvements to our team, too. We appreciate your support and hope it serves you well for years to come!

Great bag which reminds me of my teenage army surplus bags. Shame there’s no external pocket and internal pockets aren’t really thought through. Otherwise looks good.

Thanks for your review Joe! We're glad you like the look of the bag. We'll take your feedback about the pockets into account for future designs. Feel free to reach out if you need anything else!
