A Proper Everyday Crossbody


The MK VII is a simple, robust crossbody bag built for everyday carry. Its design pays tribute to the British Forces MK VII gas mask bag made famous by Indiana Jones, retaining the straightforward utility that made the original so useful. At 28cm x 28cm x 7.7cm, it gives you a compact 6-litre carry for the essentials without turning into another oversized bag.

Essentials Within Reach

Big enough for the things you actually need, small enough to stay out of the way. Inside, a liner with a large snap-secured slip pocket and two organisation pockets keeps smaller gear from disappearing to the bottom. The removable S40 sling lets you carry it comfortably across the body, while the secure flap makes it equally useful on foot, travelling light or out on the motorcycle.

Heritage-Grade Natural Materials

We craft bags from heavyweight beeswaxed canvas, genuine brass, and premium full-grain leather, delivering authentic quality, sustainability, and enduring style that matures beautifully rather than deteriorating.

Built Beyond The Basics


The MK VII uses heavyweight 16oz beeswaxed canvas, cotton webbing and solid brass hardware. The reinforced flap is double stitched into the rear panel and backed up with two brass rivets on each side. Brass snap closures sit on raised 25mm cotton webbing tabs, giving your fingers something to get behind when closing the bag instead of simply pushing down into it. Two rear webbing D-ring anchors also make it compatible with our T-Brace stability strap.

"I love my cross-body bags, so when I saw the MK VII Jones Cross Body bag, it was a must buy for me. The construction is first rate and the bag looks and feels like it was built for anything. Jack Stillman has captured the spirit of adventure with this one and it is my go-to bag whenever I’m heading out."

Made To Wear In

Waxed canvas is supposed to show where it has been. Creases, marks and changes in the finish become part of the bag rather than reasons to replace it. The beeswaxed canvas is water-repellent, breathable and can be re-waxed with Jack Stillman Fabric Wax when it needs refreshing. Solid brass hardware develops its own patina rather than relying on a surface plating that can chip away. Use it, maintain it and keep it in service.

Keep It Close


The MK VII doesn’t need complicated compartments or clever tricks to earn its place. It carries the everyday stuff, stays close to the body and is built from materials that get better looking with use. A simple bag with a bit of history behind it and plenty more ahead.

I already liked the design from when I saw the adverts, and although they were out of stock, it was put on pre-order for the next batch. The thing that stood out to me was the fact that someone had complained about the inside pocket flopping over, not a big deal, but something they thought should be addressed; well, what do you know, they listened and when I received my order, they had modified the inside to include a press-stud button (or something like that) to keep it in place. Kudos for listening and modifying.

Quality Product!
I am a “slow traveller” and therefore needed something that was going to last me many years. Extremely happy 😃

Hi Sam, thanks so much for leaving a review. Great to hear you're happy with the bag, hope it keeps you happy for many many years!

Just got my new bag, quick delivery too.
It's a quality product that is hard to find these days. I reckon it will last me my lifetime and probably will be loved by my son one day.
Designed in Australia and ethically made in Vietnam.
Would recommend getting one if you're in need of a Man Bag.

Thanks so much for reviewing! We're super glad to hear you like the bag and are happy with the delivery. Enjoy your bag!

I ride a motorbike and this is the perfect size to sling over and carry the essentials.

Hi Andy, great to hear the MK VII suits your needs so well! Thanks so much for your review.

One of the best made pieces of kit I’ve bought in 40 years. The attention to detail and workmanship is well executed. This is the second item we’ve bought, the first was a poncho which is perfect for around the fire with a Bundy. Great stuff and thank you.

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Kel. It's amazing to hear you're happy with your purchases and we appreciate your kind words. Enjoy your new bag!

I previously left a review for the older iteration of this bag, with a lower rating, noting the previous magnetic clips would always become upclipped and did not offer a secure enough closing mechanism for the bag.

I'm happy to report that after receiving the new version of the bag and using it for ~6 months, this is now a 5-star bag and my go-to general day bag. The one major problem I had with it has been fully resolved, and the new press-button clips are heavy duty and work great. They've even solved a potential issue of wear and tear on the clip buttons by adding additional canvas straps for them to clip to, rather than the studs being directly on the bag itself - something that would have added to the cost of production but is a great design choice.

Everything else about the bag is still great - it's bigger than it looks while still offering a small and comfortable profile when wearing it. It looks great and is sturdy and made of high quality materials. I used it very frequently on an overseas holiday for day trips, it was a lot easier than carring around a backpack.

I can't recommend this bag highly enough!

Hi Kevin, thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We're absolutely delighted to hear that the new design improvements have made the MK VII your perfect daily companion. Your kind words about the durability and other features mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your support and recommendation!

Cheers mate!

Great Aussie made.

It is a great Rachel. Compact yet big enough to carry all my odds and sods.

Fabulous- thanks Allan!

Well made and sturdy. My only criticism is the magnetic clips, because I ride and it is to replace my 20yr old dilly bag. It would benefit from a sturdy closure.

Thank you Andrew. Noted about the magnets. We are currently working on sourcing a new supplier, for sturdier magnets.

Like all the other Jack Stillman products this is another example of great quality and good looking gear that will only get better with time. I wear this not just for the practicality but for the style and the feeling it gives me having such a good quality item. Jack's Stillman is an example of a modern business that can succeed and grow with quality gear at an appropriate value point and still maintain ethical work and business practices well done to all the team.
This is my second Jack Stillman bag I have a smaller one that I use for my Bible carry bag that is also excellent quality that I believe I will have for my lifetime

So much better than I expected!
To me it always seems like a bit of a gamble , ordering things online. I much prefer being able to physically handle things, to feel their weight, texture and quality.
On receiving this bag, it was immediately obvious it was well made to a very high standard.
The weight of the canvas, the muted khaki colour even the smell was perfect.
It’s a treasure, like something from the 40s that’s been wrapped in waxed paper and left for me to discover.
