Inside a golden roundel, a blue map of Texas sprouts a great white wing, a lone star and a flash of red and white, ringed by the words Route of the Starliners and Trans-Texas Airways. The Houston-based airline, headquartered near Hobby Airport, began calling its Douglas DC-3s Starliners in 1949, and the name became its signature. Trans-Texas later flew Convairs and DC-9 jets, took a new name in 1969, and finally merged into Continental Airlines in 1982. It is a proud, very Texan piece of regional airline art.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
