Looking for a lunch bag.

[Mick Dempsey]

I know I know, it’s another ‘what foot spa?’ thread, so apologies for the inanity of it, but I’m stumped, and so is my wife who loves luggage and online shopping so you would have thought she’d have found something. 
 

My dad had a lunch bag for years, canvas with buckles and a shoulder strap and a little compartment for a thermos to stay upright and the rest of it for his sarnies (wrapped in grease proof paper)

 

I’m trying to start a new regime of van tidiness and balls of silver paper that used to contain sandwiches and a thermos rolling around the floor are major irritants.

 

So a bag is needed, the thermos slot is the sticking point, and a dealbreaker.

 

Anyone have the solution?

 

She is in the UK till Wednesday so could get it delivered and bring it back if we find one.

I've got one made by a company called Gootium, I've had it a good while, so not sure if they still sell the same one.

 Swap out the thermos for a pair of insulated cups (I've two "bodum" branded ones, I'm sure others are available) and stick these in the cup holders. Lunchbox under the seat. Job done. This also means you can have both tea and coffee or soup and vodka, for those long wet days!

The slot for a thermos is the tricky bit, I’m a tea obsessive.

What about that chap on Etsy who makes rope bags, he could knock you one up?

 

Tesco bag for life does me day to day, my truck isn't very tidy tbf.

I’ll admit there’s a bit of nostalgia attached. 
My mum used to pack this bag for my dad during harvest when he was driving the combine harvester late into the evening and sent me off on my bike to deliver it to him. 
I really want it to be the same.

I kind of remember what you mean.  My old fella had similar.

 

Anything close in the link above?

I can vouch for their durability, mine fell off the chipper on the back of the mog at 40mph one day (where it got left after lunch) and it survieved with little more than a scratch. Keeps stuff cool even on the hottest days.

 

but its not a bag

You or Mrs D should be able to get one at an Army & Navy store, if you can still find one.
