Steve Canyon would proud of this pack. Heritage Research worked with Eastman Leather Clothing on this WWII inspired “aviator pack” which consists of A-2 flying jacket, an Aviators Kit Bag and USAAF aircrew gloves; all of which are made in England. “The Aviators Kit Bag is made from 100% cotton OD canvas, this is an exact copy of the original WWII USAAF aviators kit bag, It is fastened by way of two sprung chevron Crown zippers, that meet at the top, with a further closure flap with press-studs. The A-10 glove was issued to all USAAF aircrew and is made from a supple Goatskin leather and lined with a fine wool knit.” And finally, the  A-2 jacket is an exact of the original made from beautiful vegetable tanned American Steerhide.”

“Inspired by a classic circa 1920’s outdoor jacket whose pattern and design was particular to the North Western States of the USA, originally made from heavy tin cloth or canvas and lined with Indian blanket. With high fastening button placket, fixed white drawstring hood, one left chest pocket and two lower flap pockets and button adjustable cuff.” (oi)

Heritage Research revised the classic Quoddy Grizzly Boot with a “specially developed Vibram sole unit that mimics a moccasin sole. This is the first time that any Quoddy product has ever had a Vibram sole which is interesting.” Heritage Research have also spun in their ‘Lazy Arrow’ stitch which appears on many of their shirt pockets onto the toe. “The boot itself is made from Russet Bison and Peanut leather with a Chocolate deerskin bellows tongue.” Look for these in late April.

Some more outerwear goodness from the Heritage Research line. The Wax Millerain cotton Longline Parka features drawstring peaked hood and leather toggles. (Our favorite) Riri zip fastening with large button through stormflap and two large button-fastening pockets finish the exterior.  Note the extra sized buttons on the cuffs.

Looks like a normal Bean bag right? Well it’s a bit more original than one might assume. Back the 1920’s the L.L. Bean company produced a 30oz duck canvas bag used to haul ice around the hills of Maine and New England. Heritage Research was able to get the Bean to reproduce a run of these rugged totes sized medium with long double strength handles, reinforced flat canvas bottom and overlapped seams.” The double-stitch finish rounds it all out.  This is a serious tote available at Oi Polloi.
