It measures 12 in. x 14 in. x 5.75 in. and is available in Black and Olive Drab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDurable Construction Built to Last\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-51 Engineers Bag is made from heavyweight washed cotton canvas with leather accents on the main flap and straps and brass hardware throughout. The canvas is naturally water-resistant, so the bag holds up in variable conditions without requiring special treatment. The combination of canvas, leather, and brass keeps the bag functional over years of regular use rather than seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrganized Storage for EDC Gear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main compartment of the M-51 Engineers Bag secures with a metal turning lock closure and includes a zipper closure pocket inside for items that need extra security. Under the main flap, a plastic document pocket with hook-and-loop closure keeps papers flat and accessible, and five pen holder loops keep writing tools in place without rattling loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the main compartment, the M-51 Engineers Bag carries two hook-and-loop pockets, one open-top storage pocket, and two side pockets sized for small electronic devices and similar gear. That pocket count makes it practical for separating keys, cards, a phone, and documents without digging through a single large cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFlexible Carry Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-51 Engineers Bag includes a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap that extends up to 59 inches, accommodating a wide range of body sizes and carry positions, from crossbody to single-shoulder. A top grab handle provides a quick hand-carry option when the strap is removed or when moving through tight spaces. The strap detaches fully, so the bag can also be packed flat inside a larger bag when not in use as a standalone carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavyweight washed cotton canvas:\u003c\/strong\u003e naturally water-resistant fabric with leather accents on the main flap and straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal turning lock closure:\u003c\/strong\u003e main compartment secured by a turning lock with an additional interior zipper pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple pockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e two hook-and-loop pockets, one open-top pocket, two side pockets, and a plastic document pocket under the flap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive pen holder loops:\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated pen storage under the main flap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable shoulder strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e detachable strap extends up to 59 inches; top grab handle included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrass accents:\u003c\/strong\u003e hardware finished in brass for period-correct vintage appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e12 in. x 14 in. x 5.75 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e16 liters\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.5 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePrimary Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeavyweight washed cotton canvas\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAccent Materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLeather, brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMetal turning lock (main); zipper (interior pocket); hook-and-loop (document pocket and two pockets)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShoulder Strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDetachable, adjustable to 59 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColors Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Olive Drab\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e⚠ \u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product contains Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rothco M-51 Engineers Bag suits everyday carry users, commuters, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a mid-size crossbody with organized storage and a vintage military aesthetic.
