the ol' Ghurka was nice. I hate to offer the ol' saw about things not being what they used to be -- but the original company made fine kit. I've got a tie case -- and I was always a sucker for little bits and bobs: And they had pouches, smaller cases, folding cases, and whatnot. Amazing canvas and leather work I thought.
I do favor the OD green. But I must concede that the khaki is the Holy of Holies for the Trad.
The bean bags were either blue with OD canvas or brown with OD canvas as I recall. In that case, the brown was Trad. But I favored the blue. For the Jauntiness.
The original briefcase:

is the one I picked up. Save it was about $200 or so. And didn't have a shoulder strap. On this one, there was no "wrap" for the handles, though some guys chose this option. I'm still awaiting a scholastic debate on whether said option is Trad or not, so I can send it in for refurb.
Pick one up, if you don't have another case or are in the market. It's worth it.
Do you mean the bag with an 'H' written on?
It is a bowling bag.
Why? It took me quite a few minutes to remember it 😉
I thought bowling bags were smaller, over here we would just call it a holdall or at least I would.
Love the way Timothy Bottoms' head is so obviously superimposed on the body in the poster. Ah, those innocent pre-Photoshop days...
