The Kit Bag story began in 1986 in the United Kingdom with humble but ambitious beginnings. In the family living room of their home in the small Suffolk village of Bungay, Geoffrey Green and his eldest son Christopher—both former servicemen—developed the original business plan that would become The Kit Bag.
Located near some of the most historic former US 8th Air Force airfields of World War II, the area was steeped in military history and aviation heritage. Inspired by their service backgrounds and a shared passion for quality military and outdoor equipment, Geoffrey and Christopher set out to build a business founded on knowledge, integrity, and customer service.
What started as a small family venture has grown into a trusted supplier of military-inspired, tactical, outdoor, travel, and adventure gear, proudly serving customers for nearly four decades. In 1990 the business was relocated to Perth Western Australia.
The plan was to focus on diverse and interesting but useful, functional products and originally the products offered were all military surplus items. All the items where bought from an agent who purchased directly from both the domestic and international military surplus markets. They were interesting times and it is difficult to comprehend the immense change that has taken retailing from the days of the retail high street to the online marketplace that we have today.
