The musette bag, updated. Other items?

I received a catalog today with this gem in it. It occurred to me that it might be something a 21st Century Indiana Jones might carry. It is called a "Fatboy" and is made by Maxpedition. I often wondered why valuable stuff didn't fall out of Indy's musette bag.


It occurs to me there might be other modern equivalents ti Indy's garb and gear.

I beg to differ.

musette
(noun) 1 : a bellows-blown bagpipe popular in France in the 17th and 18th centuries; 2 : a small knapsack; also : a similar bag with one shoulder strap -- called also musette bag

A gasmask bag can be more generically referred to a "musette bag" especially when it is no longer used to carry a gasmask.

Pronounced "myoo-zet" ???

"Exactament" as they say where the word was invented.

actually, they'd probably rather say "exactement". and as far as my knowledge of french serves me, i'd bet that the "mu" sound is closer to the y in "syndrome", but while we have the "ü", i suppose there is no real english sound for musette.
