Looking for game bag/jacket vest type deal

I have two, coat type, rubberized bag, khaki color. Both are Jones Tent and Awning, Pioneer brand.
I thought these were the best!

Edited to say they have a band around them with individual shell loops.

These were the best, 35 years ago when you bought them. Fs

Should you have no objections to a strap vest then I suggest that you look at the couple versions from MOTHER ..... personally, I haven't seen the ones listed below, however, I've used the Day Pack (Upland) and found that to be very well made and designed. Lot of storage spaces for organizing gear.

The Filson is an excellent recommendation - look at the Tin Cloth Jacket in the Upland version or Upland/Waterfowl version or the Pro Guide Strap Vest. You may or may not like the waxed material but those things are built to last. :) I own/used each version.

As an afterthought, from personal experience, the Filsons gamebag (specifically the jacket) once stuffed with 4/5 (Pheasant sized) birds may not be that great for smooth ease of movement.

I'm a fan of the Filson "skeleton-style" strap vest as well.

Can be worn over a light shirt or with adjustment, over a heavy coat.
When new the "double-tin" finish is a little stiff & crunchy, but over time and a few washings, they soften-up nicely.

Mine is probably 25 years old now. I consider it a good investment.

I just said that sort of tongue in cheek, because I am not familiar with other types.
But Jones Tent and Awning is considered an old classic, in everything they made with their Pioneer brand on it.
They used to test their tents by staking them down on the roof of the six story building they were in in Vancouver, and leave the tents out for a year. At one time, at least, every model of tent they made would have this testing period, where they would give them regular inspections, to see how they were standing the grueling test.
