Fits Like a Hug US Antarctic Research Program Bag
£155.00
The Fits Like a Hug USARP Bag is based on an original piece made by the Diamond Brand for the US Antarctic Research Program, a civilian and military joint research program started in 1959. These bags were apparently issued to the civilian department. It’s made from Alberton’s 18 oz basic duck fabric in a great dusty orange colour and looks very much like the original bag. Heavyweight cotton webbing is used for the handles and side pull. Japanese leather reinforcements, name plate, and brass D-rings by Kamishiraishi Brass in Tokyo. These are extra special sand-cast brass D-rings with a nice weight to them and gives the bag an extra special detail that’ll age nicely. Completely made in Japan.
