Definition revised fixed following extensive discussion on the language reference desk.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 18:19, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant Textile?

"...made of cloth (or other fabric)..." did this Both links (cloth and fabric) redirect to the same article, viz. Textile. BTW a ditty bag is a different from a sea bag - see http://www.frayedknotarts.com/files/dittybagbox.html for example. 122.106.177.130 (talk) 06:51, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity

It is often used to carry luggage? I think that meant that it is used as a piece of luggage.

"Prussian soldiers of the 19th century are said to have called their rolled up greatcoats carried bandolier-fashion by the same name." ...greatcoats carried bandolier-fashion? What does that mean exactly. Is there a word or words missing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7:8500:982:D4FB:193:27FC:ADA6 (talk) 03:23, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It means slung over the shoulder and across the chest and back to the opposite hip; a bit like American Civil War soldiers used their blankets. --Bermicourt (talk) 19:35, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

no a "kit bag" looks just like the image and is quite large - the British Army version was about 3-4 feet long)

"One British Army version" was about 3 feet long, yep, but the term was also used for sometimes smaller bags for specialized kit, for rectangular (but also large) aviator's bags, and for what later might be called a barracks back. The differences aren't just Pondial, but also over time and military class, and branch of service. A duffle bag, on the other hand, was more-or-les one critter up until the '70s.

Changed some of the heading around, also added a section of pros and cons. All of my information was from cited sources, and those are also in the text. With these additions the term duffel bag is much for defined.--Jcrumpton (talk) 01:48, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
