Let's kick the wannabe-retro stuff off the stage! This old Romanian army breadbag was already obsolete when first introduced sometime in the '70s. Bombproof made of Genuine Materials (TM) which are canvas, metal, and leather!
In short, this is the wet dream of a vintage fanatic except it's no dream, and for cheap too! The Romanian bread bag is not only unbelievably pretty but damn well made too. Pretty big too, volume-wise this bag is like a small rucksack and the outside has provisions to attach even more stuff.
Features
Comprises of a divided main space, adjustable with the closure straps of the lid. Dimensions about 32 x 28 x 12 cm (12" x 11" x 5"). There's an extra fastening strap at the mouth.
Carried with an adjustable shoulder strap. Now, this strap is something that will probably never break. It's also a bit wider from the spot it rests on your shoulder.
If the inside space is enough, there are four leather strap attachment points on the outside. These will fit most straps up to 25 mm (1") wide. The D-ring on the front is also a nice way to carry your enamel or alu mug!
Buckle modification guide
Are the slide buckles too slow for you? Consider swapping them for other buckles, the easiest choice being the GT Split-Bar, but if you want the best go for G-hooks. Neither option requires sewing!
First, do away with the old buckles with some side cutters. The steel is mild so it takes no time. Installing the Split-Bar is pretty straight-forward, just note that the steel end of the strap only goes through the male buckle sideways.
Installing the G-hook is a bit complicated, but more rewarding. The steel end of the strap doesn't fit through at all, but you can fold the strap into a bight and feed it through as two layers. Put a short 20 mm (7/8") piece of Paracord into the strap loop and capture it by pulling tight. Just look at the pictures and you'll get it.

If you want to modify the inner security strap as well, you'll need three (3) G-hooks.
Materials
Made entirely of thick cotton duck. Details made of leather (strap points) and steel (buckles and strap end pieces). They have really made these from proper strong materials and the sewing thread seems pretty solid too. This bag will not fail.
Condition
Usually very little used, but old. We strongly recommend wiping the bag clean with a moist rag and treating the leather with generous amounts of grease. The musty warehouse smell will eventually vanish with use.

Pesun jälkeen laukku täyteen sanomalehtipalloja tms. tiukkaan jolloin kova markiisikangas muotoitui oikean malliseksi, samalla kankaasta tuli hiukan kuluneen näköinen, kun laukku oli kyuva valjaarasvaa nahka osiin kunnolla,..

edit: Päätin sittenkin laittaa G-hookit. Ja voin kertoa, että se ei käynyt kuin elokuvissa. Kaksinkerroin oleva hihna kun ei mene kovinkaan helposti läpi G-hookin rei'istä. Itse käytin apuna teelusikan vartta, vähän kyllä hirvitti. Ja kun koukku on paikallaan, huomaa nopeasti, että se paracordin pätkä on täysin turha. Koukku ei nimittäin hievahda vahingossa mihinkään suuntaan ja yrittämälläkin sangen nihkeästi. Nopeat pituussäädöt saa siis unohtaa tyystiin. Hihnan pituus kannattaa katsoa jo asennettaessa sopivaksi. Ai enemmän tavaraa, ei mee kiinni, sori siitä. Kiikutan laukun huomenna suutarille josko saisi päätettyä hihnat uudelleen jotenkin näppärästä. Hihan elinikä varmasti myös ainakin puolittui kun survoin sitä G-hookkiin.

I'm very happy with this. It lacks the handy pockets of the Polish bread bag, but is larger and seems to have better construction. I swapped out the buckles for G-hooks, and then switched to the split-bar solution. I prefer the split bars. FYI: I was able to run the webbing through the g-hooks, it just took a bit of hammering.

Great bag! Two really large compartements and thats it, just what I was after as a possibles bag.
Side note:
The german general purpose straps fit perfect:

Had some in my pile anyway, but you can´t have enough of those, can you?
Add the german poncho on top of the bag an you´re set for a day in the great outdoors.
Thumbs up!
