Friday morning I go to the local Flea Market that used to be a drive in.
It is my favorite day, opens at 7am and is not too busy because all the buyers are at work. I stay up all night so instead of sleeping for a few hours, and trying to wake back up, I just stay up all night.
Pair of giant leather US Mail bags, just one strap, everything is marked all over the place US Mail $30.

The mail bag looks great! I have a similar military bag that I got from At The Front, but it has US Army on it I think. I'll check it when I get home.
if its the one you carry around, its an m1936 musette bag , same side pocket, but the straps are sort with j hooks and you use a wide, thin shoulder strap with d rings on the ends.
I just showed the mailman the bags and he thought they were insane.
