Review: One review, for two different messenger bags. - Each bag is sold by the same company (Rothco), but I purchased Military bag form a this Seller. Each is 100% cotton, made in India. Each is heavy duty, with nice sized shoulder straps. (Not those thin ones, that cut into your shoulder.) Adjustable, but the bucket ends up being in the back? That's if you place the bag on your right side, left shoulder. The buckets are heavy duty, not big and awkward or add to the bags weight. Each bag is the same size, with the same number of pockets. Two outer, for bottles or etc. Two under the flap, with a real cloth zippered compartment inside. (I was afraid it might of been plastic, as they do make changes from time to time.) When opening the grey bag, the silica gel packets were ripped. Now I was planning on vacuuming, just not today. This delayed me in looking over my bags, as it WENT EVERYWHERE! But I did notice right off, each bag was heavy duty and sewn well. The two straps in front, I'm assuming are from the days, when belts were sewn to the bags. This insured whatever was in them, stayed inside. With the invention of Velcro, someone never thought to remove them. Unless they serve another purpose, then I'm in the wrong. If I'm not, get rid of them. (For the time and material it takes, its no longer needed.) I had intended to use them, when going to a flea market, farmers market or when taking a trip. Not a fan of packing the kitchen sink, this could be used as more of a weekend bag. The grey, with something casual goes well together. While the Military bag offers this, camping weekend feel. Either way, both are identical inside and out. (Duh, but for the colors!) As for the side pockets, I removed the inside snap. This means, the pockets can no longer snap shut. But after reaching in an catching my pinky on that looped strap inside, that thing had to go! Plus it offers a cleaner feel, when putting things into them. The other change I made, I removed the outside straps. For silliness, it does remove a little weight. But if you're backpacking in the wood, you could hang something off them or clip something to them. So yea, keep them for that reason. Now not being a sleeping bag and campfire person, there was no reason for me to use them in that way. In truth, I removed it out of vanity. The company makes so many beautiful designs, its a shame those straps seem to take away form it. This is when I need to stop and admit, I'm a whovian. (That's someone who watches Dr. Who.) So when I spotted the military bag with the Tardis on it, I was truly tempted. Even more so, when I spotted the bag with the Dalek. In the end, this was the one I picked. For its a military bag and that star on it, tells me. Its been tested to withstand, whatever I will Put it though. I had also given some thought to use them (the grey mainly), when shopping. Not, milk and eggs shopping. Mall shopping, when its more window then buying. This way you can bring whatever you need and have lots of space, for things you never know you'll be buying. (This idea came to me, when I was out. A Veteran was resting, with a bag like this on his side. Inside, something he needed to live I'm guessing, from all the tubes coming out of it. But when he noticed me, there was no shame in his eyes. Yes, he has an illness. No, its not something he wanted you to see, fear or concern yourself with.) So my plans have changed slightly, but I'm not disappointed with my purchases. (The Veteran you see, had a slightly lighter bag. So for Flea market shopping, room for whatever catches my eye. For mall shopping, I'm going with something lighter.) For as I said, heavy duty and each offers a different feel. checking into a hotel, by the beach. Or roasting marshmallows over a campfire, it all depends on which bag I'm using.
Review: An all around excellent purchase. - As an "adult", I found myself last year feeling more and more embarrassed using the same backpack (Jansport, baby!) I wore in college around. I used the backpack sparringly, mind you, just whenever a larger bag than my fiancee's purse was needed. Like a trip to Disneyland, for example. I've also found myself wanting a larger bag when transporting my laptop. This is where Rothco's Classic Army Messenger Bag came in. I loved the look, size, and price of this bag. After using it extensively for several months, I can say without a doubt that it was an excellent purchase. The bag is incredibly sturdy, perfectly suited for a laptop, tablet, reader, and several files. The strap is also adjustable, with a ton of length to work with. Also worth noting is the width of the strap, which is sizable enough that you shouldn't have to worry about it digging into your shoulder, it's very comfortable. I guess the best thing I can say about this bag is that it suits me anywhere. I can take it on a trip to Disneyland, it can substitute as a sidebag for a camping trip, and it can be used professionally. It's just a GREAT bag, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great bag, but not for me
*by J***K on February 21, 2008*

First, I want to say that my bag got here a week earlier than estimated. Only took four business days! Now about the bag itself: it's good. It's well made, durable, attractive, and it does its job well. It holds quite a bit without looking ridiculous. The strap is wide enough to be comfortable even when the bag is full. Still, there are some issues that I might need to resolve with a sewing kit. There is only one pocket with a zipper. I generally carry around a lot of odds and ends. And I tend to throw my bag around. If it ends up upside-down small things like change can fall out. This isn't a HUGE deal, but it annoys me. The main compartment is really big, but personally I would have preferred it to have been split in two. Maybe have one of them zip closed. But again, this isn't a flaw of the bag, it's just my preference. I see other reviewers complaining that the strap is too short. They must be crazy or don't know how to adjust it. The one I got was a little over four feet long fully extended. I'm 6' so it hangs around my thighs. One small issue is that the strap isn't removable. So if you want to put another one on, you'll have to cut the original off. But I have no intention of doing that since the strap is awesome. In the end this bag would be perfect for someone, which is why I'm giving it four stars. But the lack of compartments and zippers prevents it from being the perfect bag for me.
