Sword & Plough is the cool company name here, and it’s based on the old saying “to turn swords into plough shares”; it basically means taking military technologies and materials and applying them to peaceful civilian applications. So knowing that, it makes sense that these bags and iPhone cases are made from recycled military surplus materials, and that the team behind the gear is made up of military veterans. Each product is made in the USA, and as they say about their materials, “If it doesn’t have a cool story, we won’t use it.” We salute you.
