Once utility, now fashion

Be it working clothes or clothes as well as accessories that were worn in combat and specially made for this purpose:
For us today, common cuts or designs are often based on exactly these.
Whether one is always aware of this is questionable
At that time the look or the design was never a priority, robust, practical and durable, it had to be.
From Paris to New York, but thanks to social media also all over the world, you can find the faded French work jacket or the olive green M65 jacket worn by the fashionable peops. Which will certainly not be miners or soldiers.
Whereby we're not saying that a miner or Soldier aren't wearing fly outfits, the hint should be clear.Perfect Fit of a vintage M65 on a classic and timeless look

Bag, Flyer's Helmet, OD Green

"A container made of flexible material with a rounded bottom. It is designed to protect a flyer's helmet from scratches when not in use."
Sounds a bit uncharming, but that's how the bag has been defined since its introduction in the 1960s, form the military specs side.
What has been designed as a practical way to stock and transport a helmet and other essentials for a pilot has been a staple design for endless numbers of simple rip offs as well as iconic contemporary bag designs.

With a closer look at its aspect ratio and the two big front bags one must admit that this kind of bag must have crossed your paths without knowing its roots.
Or maybe a similar bag is already your very own possession?
No matter if luxury brands as Louis Vuitton, the Japanese legendary bag manufacturer Porter Yoshida, Arket or even H&M and Zara. All of them had helmet bag inspired releases over and over in the last decades.
