    Hello, Ray:

    That is a good purchase. I have seen that wet pack. It is handsome as well as quality stuff. Well, Daines & Hathaway is a good name. An excellent choice.

    Regards,

    I have that bugout bag and love it. If I hadnt stored DE razors in the slotted flap with blades installed it would be in perfect condition after over 3 years. I use it daily during and that isnt bad for 20 bucks. I wasn't even the original owner, someone left it behind emptied out at showers in Iraq, after a trip to laundry it looked brand new. So it was a freebie that's lasted.

    I think this is the Saddleback Leather Company end product. No doubt looks nice but, personally, I'll stick with the military-style rollup.

    It's probably obvious to most, but not to me. What does 'Dopp' stand for in 'Dopp' kit. Is it a military acronym or something similar? It's a description not in common use in the UK.

    Thanks for the info.
    I see that they were US Army issue in WWII, which probably explains why the name lives on.
    Ironic, going to war with a wash bag named after a German.

    And I'll certainly back up that endorsement: in addition to superior quality goods, I'm in line with Saddleback philosophy and everything they stand for.

    BTW...I have a couple of SBL bags (duffle and backpack) and can't brag about them enough...I too have no affiliation other than a satisfied customer who works overseas and travels alot. The small travel bag/dopp kit may very well be my next purchase. Rich.

    Dave at Saddleback Leather is coming out with 2 different size bags that will be in the line of a Dopp kit on May 15. The main website is:

    Saddleback Leather Co. : Leather Bags, Briefcases & Luggage for Men & Women

    Picture of an early prototype

    Saddleback Leather Co.'s Photos - Upcoming things | Facebook

    Kinda sorta in the "old-time' tradition of those of us choosing to wet-shave with straights or whatever, ALL of Dave's products are made WITHOUT the modern conveniences that tend to break.......zippers, snaps, etc.

    Unless specified differently, all products are lined with pigskin and come with his 100-year warranty.

    Will be ordering one of the new bags in chestnut as soon as they are available. Will match my other pieces, all in chestnut!

    Just my $.02. Figured some of you might have interest in these wonderful products!

    Tony
    I love leather products. Thank you for introducing me to this website!

    I'm always open for more!

    Hi all,

    Looking for some bag suggestions. Im new to Straights and am in the military. I like the roll up types for travel since im on the move all the time. Any suggestions?

    What do you take with you when you travel, like a mug, type of brush, soap holder, etc.?

    Brian
