Product Description
Gypsy hobo by tropAcool.
Whether you live on the run or in a rut you'll love all the pockets on this hobo bag. Which is why I call it the Gypsy Hobo. 9 pockets in all on this one! And all pockets are of useable size.
Made with the yoke of two cotton twill shorts. One in khaki and one in rust brown. This hobo bag is completely machine wash and dryable. Air drying will keep your colors brighter longer. Please remove your tattered scarf prior to washing. It must be hand washed, unless you want it shredded. :)
The exterior of the bag:
Each side offers it own uniqued pockets.
On the khaki side there are two large zipper pockets - you can easily fit your entire hand in the opening and the inside extends down quite a bit. On one side the zipper zips up and on the other side the zipper zips down. Both are YKK quality zippers. The fly zipper opens to reveal that famous lip stick pocket my Hauling Ass Bags are known to have! Belt loop for keys, sunglasses, or the purse scarf that is included with this price.
On the Rust brown side of the bag:
Two slip pockets - one on each side - that button close. I have attached leather loops to hold the pockets shut. I covered the buttons with the brown twill so they match. These pockets are a little smaller than the other side. My hand will go in but it's a snug fit. The pockets do extend down a good distance.
The zip fly opens to reveal a soft fleece pocket that will fit a phone 2 1/2" X 4 1/2". Two belt loops on this side for keys, your purse scarf, or other purse eye candy.
The inside of the Hobo Bag:
I have lined this bag using a pair of reclaimed pants. The pants showed NO signs of wear. There are two slips pockets - one on each side - about 4" x 4" in size. The 6" zip fly opens to reveal a soft fleece pocket. The zipper zips up and down and the pocket is pretty good sized. I can fit my entire hand in it with my fingers spread as far as I can spread them. A lot of makeup could fit in there!
A gold tone metal zipper with a leather zipper placket.
28 inch long shoulder strap that matches the interior.
all supporting seams as well as the strap are reinforced.
Included is a "tattered" scarf made from gauze and a peace sign button. They are removeable and can be placed on either side of the bag. Hand wash your scarf please.
bag measures 14 " wide X 2 X 9 1/2 " tall
Chapter 2:
' " LET GO OF ME, YOU ROTTING BAG OF MAGGOTS!" I screamed. I grabbed my hobo bag and smashed that Zombie in the face. That made him let go real fast. My bag was jammed packed full of stuff, thanks to all those pockets! My husband was calling for me to haul ass... so that's what I did! Living like a Gypsy was getting old, When will things get back to normal?'
