The originator, Bob Lee, an outdoor enthusiast and businessman, designed and fabricated his line of fashionable clothing and equipment explicitly created for life in the outdoors. Working with sailmakers in Angola, he swapped out heavy canvas for a new polyurethane-coated nylon. The material, called Battue, brought lightness and waterproofing to traditional shoulder bags and duffels, with a shock-absorbing foam core and a snag-resistant jersey inner core. It embodies everything great about Hunting World wares. Battue bags became an underground status symbol. By the 1990s, Hunting World was running full-page ads in The New York Times alongside Barneys and Bergdorf. Width 9.5" Height 10" Depth 4"
