Where to buy Jack Bauer’s 24-hour messenger bag
Looking for the canvas messenger bag carried by Jack Bauer, Kiefer Sutherland’s character on TV’s longest-running week-long show, 24?
According to our visitor logs, so are a lot of other people. We don’t get it. What, exactly, is the virtue of carrying a man purse identical to that of a fictional, independent, go-it-alone secret agent? So you can look like an original?
But we’re sympathetic. Even if they’re not counter-terrorist agents, bag-wielding men can use some cover. That’s not a man purse, you can say. That’s my Jack Pack. Or Jack Sack. And so the conversation switches from effeminacy to television; from lipstick to explosives. Phew.
And we’re happy to help you out.
Though we doubt we’ll ever have official confirmation, Rothco’s Classic Messenger Bag appears to be Bauer’s bag. You can’t buy directly from Rothco, but you will find bags that meet the exact same description (and use the same photograph) for sale at Amazon (through Andrew Christian), Flying Tigers, and New York First. They all seem to be the same bag.
Bauer or no, at about twenty bucks it’s a pretty good bargain.
- Classic Messenger Bag [Rothco, for sale at Flying Tigers]
- Heavyweight Classic Messenger and Travel Bag — Unisex [Andrew Christian, or through Amazon]
- Jack Bauer Adventure Bag [New York First]

Or you could get the “real” thing, Fox sold some on the 24 site with a bronze CTU logo on it. They’ve sold out but the item can be found here.

My ninth-grader is carrying it now and wants to know when he’s getting his PDA and his gun. (But he’s kidding.)

I ordered one from Flying tigers. It will be interesting to see how it holds up.

Just to leat everyone know, ALL STORES are OUT of this product. I just ordered one off of ebay. It is your only best bet if you want it before AUGUST.
Flying Tigers sent me an e-mail and I had to cancel my order.

All I can say is that whoever put this up rocks. I’ve got a my space group entitled the Official Jack Bauer Manbag Fanclub. All y’all are welcome to join.

[...] Let’s review. Here, as we’ve mentioned before, is the shoulder bag Jack Bauer carries in 24. You will note it is a simple canvas bag with unremarkable markings. It is very similar to a bag described and sold by many vendors as a “Danish School Bag.” [...]

Here’s another site that also has the Jack Bower duffle bag:
Wholesale Army Navy
It says out of stock until September 1, though. But then there’s this other store. Doesn’t say anything about stock, but I haven’t tested:
Camping Survival

Yeah.. I really want one for school, but I don’t know where to find it.. all of them on ebay “convieniently” cover the bronze area with the strap. The bronze just completes it… anyone know where I can get that?

They have Jack’s bag along with some other of Jack’s gear. They shipped the bag out pretty quickly, and although the packaging wasn’t terrific, it arrived quickly and in good shape. So far it has has held up pretty well, I’m looking to get it embroidered with the CTU logo.

There are a lot of then in ebay
May 12th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
The ones sold on the fox.com website are pure shite. I actually bought one for myself before I realized it was the one Jack used on the show. It was a bonus for me. I love that show to death.
February 8th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Hey anyone got a large photo of jack with a gun and the bag? Preferrably all of the bag. If so email to lawnmowerman02@yahoo.com. Thanks!
March 25th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
“The ones sold on the fox.com website are pure shite.” Can anyone tell me if this means good or bad. I have been thinking of buying this one, but don’t want to get something of lesser quality.
April 13th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I’ve got that lovely bag……In olive green. But ebay also have a lovely one thats in black. I think I’m going to buy it.
and amazon has the same thing but a paratrooper WWII style one. very fitting. More spending. haha
