Afternoon!!

Very off topic question, but what is the name given to these? Usually have gaffer tape hanging off them and there stuffed with pens, pencils etc.

Iv'e needed one for a while, and the last programme i worked on a lady told me where to get one but iv'e long forgotton.

So whats the correct name for them, and does anyone know a good UK stockist of them!?

Regards.

not sure where in the UK but if you ever take a trip to france you will find them in every shop.......

Maybe worth searching on ebay.fr for 'sac' and la coste to give you an example of what they have.

I get mine from the Army Surplus store. I buy the black canvas hip pack. Has a large pocket, and a small 'side' pocket, and both close with the standard issue military turn toggle. Cost five dollars U.S.

But maybe you're describing something else? I've seen some grips just wear tool pouches. Depends on how much they want to carry.
