The GI's Leather Toiletry Kit

Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer and modeled after the canvas toiletry kits originally carried by American GIs, this Vachetta leather bag conveniently stores personal care items for easy retrieval. First produced in the early 1900s, the kits were a popular alternative for packing such men’s grooming essentials as deodorant, a razor, a comb, and cologne when traveling. The popularity and practicality of the kits resulted in their issuance to millions of new U.S. Army recruits during World War II. Updated with leather, this bag has a dome-shaped compartment and leather side handle with a zip-open bottom and mesh organizers for easy, convenient packing and transport. The durable, pull-up leather will take on a distressed, weathered look over time, leaving lighter areas around stress points. 11" L x 6" W x 5 3/4" D. (12 oz.)
