The Special Ops Bømber:

The MA-1a has been one of the most popular iterations of the Ancoats tote, hot on the heels of The Black Ops (I &II) the ubiquitous X51 Special Ops totes.

Special Ops totes are the most adaptable variants of the Ancoats 4-Way tote, which is down to the additional webbing details, and coming with all the upgrades right off the bat.

The MA-1a is a nod to the classic Bomber Jacket in colour and trim, and comes highly specced….but without the ‘Ops details.

Soooooo…I locked The ‘A’ Team away in a sewing shed, threw in a packet of biscuits and now we’ve got the MA-1a Bømber Ops. It’s got some unseen reinforcing I deemed necessary to support the Special Ops details on the VX42 X-PAC. It takes a bit longer to make, but it lives up to the standards I’ve set for the Ancoats Special Ops totes.

• Special Ops variant of the Ma-1a Bømber.

• Large 4-Way Convertible Tote.

• Special Ops webbing details.

• Body Fabric Olive VX42.

• Black Velcro Patch to front.

• Olive Front Strap. Dual Adjust.

• Black Cross Body Strap.

• Black rear webbing lower Accessory Webbing / Pass Through Strap.

• Fidlock Buckles.

• Black YKK Aquaguard, Orange Dipped pullers on Black Sliders.

• Fully Loaded Orange 500d Cordura interior - Lap Top section plus zipped drop pockets, an organiser panel, and with an extra internal ‘D‘ ring.

• Black Cross Body Strap.

Please Note: As this is a new iteration of the MA-1a, the pictures I have are of the only one to have previously been built, and it is shown with additional accessories and attachments(!), in some images you can see the Fidlock Accessory straps (orange) and the “Front Mount Straps” (to attach a Diplomat or Attaché to the front), as well as the MA-1a Bømber Attaché. I have also uploaded the vector illustrations of the tote for reference.
