German Military Laundry Bags

German Army Laundry Sacks

These are German Army issue laundry bags: tall, plain cotton sacks with a drawstring top, made to keep dirty clothing apart from clean kit. That simple job makes them useful well beyond the barracks. Soldiers, campers, travelers and anyone packing a duffel or rucksack use them to sort clothes, bundle bedding, or keep loose gear together in one place.

Features

• German Army Issue — Each bag is original German military equipment, not a commercial lookalike.
• Cotton Canvas Construction — The tightly woven plain-weave cotton is soft enough to fold flat yet sturdy enough to carry a full load of clothing.
• OD Green Color — The bags come in olive drab (OD) green, the muted military green that matches most field and surplus kit.
• Twin-Cord Drawstring — A pair of cotton cords runs through a stitched channel at the mouth, so one pull cinches the top shut.
• Tall Sack Shape — The long, narrow body holds a lot of clothing and still slides easily into a locker, duffel or pack.
• No Zips Or Buckles — The bag has no hardware to snag, rust or break, and it is simple to empty and turn out.
• Multi-Pack — The pack gives you enough bags to keep dirty laundry, clean clothes and spare gear in separate sacks.

Issued Build

The German armed forces issued these bags to troops for laundry and storage, and the build is plain: one cotton body, a folded and stitched drawstring casing, and two cords. No branding or decoration is added. Collectors and reenactors value that issued provenance, and everyday users get a dependable cotton sack that will see years of service at home, in camp or on the road.
