Manhattan Portage and Alpha Industries commemorate the 50th
year anniversary of the iconic M-65 Field coat by designing a military inspired
capsule bag collection
Three styles have been created using the same rugged
nylon/cotton (NYCO) fabric that makes
the outer sateen shell of the M-65 Field coat. Heavy duty brass zippers and the
signature olive green colour used in the iconic coat have also been used.
The Recon shoulder bag
Lined with bright orange vinyl
mirroring the contrast lining used in Alpha Industries flight jackets that were
used for rescue missions during Vietnam War when high visibility was
imperative.
The Jungle Rucksack
Pays homage to the classic military issued
tropical rucksack used during the Vietnam War. It features a large drawstring
compartment with room for a 15” laptop. Has antique brass hardware, dual buckle
closure and padded mesh back and shoulder straps
The MOLLE backpack
An updated version of the
Manhattan Portage Fort Hamilton backpack and redesigned with a vintage touch
sporting utilitarian features built for outdoor use, such as the second stage
modular storage option that keeps you organised and mobile in the field. This design is the military’s 21st
century version of the Vietnam era technology known as ALICE (All- purpose
Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment
