This is the official British Royal Mail courier bag! It comes with large, reflective high-vis stripes in either yellow or white and a single padded carry strap. These bags generously measure about 14" x 18" x 6" and have a capacity of approximately 24 liters. They're meant to carry mail so they're built sturdy and to be very water-resistant to protect their contents from rain. This is a very durable and unique shoulder bag. Please see the descriptions of the conditions below.
Panniers: British Royal Mail bag dual set includes two bags that attach with a harness that goes over the shoulders. Makes a great bicycle bag. Used but in excellent condition. Each bag measures 14" x 18" x 8". Limited supplies available.
Unissued Condition: The bags are in like-new condition meaning they are complete and show almost no signs of wear. These are what we call "new old stock" and are as good as it gets for these Royal Mail bags. These are extremely rare.
Issued | Good Condition: The bags are in used condition meaning they may have some dirt and signs of wear, but they're all in perfectly serviceable condition. The bags vary slightly in look and style—some of the high-vis reflective stripings may be peeled or missing and the bags may include writing from their original owners. The pads may be cracked and worn as well. They could use a wash and steam, but with a little TLC, they're a great bag for everyday use.
Issued | #2 Condition: The bags are very dirty, worn, and have their reflective striping either partially or completely missing. They may also have excessive writing on them and/or stains. The buckles may be missing or mismatched and the padding on the shoulder strap may be missing or more severely cracked as well. Small cuts, tears, holes, and abrasions should be expected.
Military Surplus Sizing Guide
Due to the wide variety of surplus clothing we carry, a standardized sizing guide helps customers find the best fit. However, military surplus can vary significantly in fit and cut. This chart serves as a general reference rather than an exact, tailor-level measurement.
Each military has its own sizing system, which is why we’ve created this guide to help you understand how we size our surplus garments.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
When an official military size chart is unavailable, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit (PtP) to estimate its fit. If a measurement falls between sizes, we round it down. For example, a shirt with a 19.75" PtP is categorized as a Small rather than a Medium.
Sizing Chart (Armpit-to-Armpit Measurement)
- 14"-15" PtP = XXS
- 16"-17" PtP = XS
- 18"-19" PtP = Small
- 20"-21" PtP = Medium
- 22"-23" PtP = Large
- 24"-25" PtP = XL
- 26"-27" PtP = XXL
- 28"-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We convert military pants to standard U.S. waist and inseam sizes. If a pair measures between sizes, we round down. For example, a 33" waist is listed as a 32" waist.
How We Measure Pants:
- Waist: Pants are laid flat, and we measure straight across the waistband. This number is doubled to determine the U.S. waist size. (Example: A 16" flat waist measurement equates to a U.S. 32" waist.)
- Inseam: We measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. (Example: A measurement of 30" from crotch to cuff is listed as a 30" inseam or 30L.)
