The very idea of creating a black bag inspired by the US Army model is a good one, because it looks more neutral and does not stand out as much. Unfortunately, the quality of workmanship is clearly worse than in the original version. The material is indeed cotton, but the weave is too loose and it is see-through. The stitching was done carelessly — it can be crooked and uneven. Inside, the edges of the material were not hemmed, so over time they will start to fray. The metal fittings are made of ordinary metal that a magnet sticks to, so it will most likely corrode. I would gladly buy a more solidly sewn version of this bag, even at a higher price.
