1. The Road Holland jersey is lightish-weight wool in a true red, not the slightly orange color I can't for some reason keep from marring my photos. 

I think it is the "Edam midweight ls jersey" judging from this 2015 review: 

https://road.cc/content/review/142615-road-holland-edam-midweight-long-sleeve-jersey

21" about pit-to-pit, 28" or so bottom of stand-up collar seam to end of hem -- about a size too big for me.

Two rear pockets, with a zip inner pocket on the right.

Very lightly used O! these so many years, and in VG condition -- dare I say, "as new"?

$50 shipped CONUS.

2. Original Grab Sack from Rivendell made from that so-densely woven cotton canvas that it is, really, annoyingly stiff. But stiff = quality!

Well used, but it has many more years and miles in it.

Note!! I replaced the original strap. The original strap was of denser webbing but it was too narrow for my comfort. The new webbing is much wider but also of thinner weave. Note this too! The new shoulder webbing was sewn in place by an amateur; the sewing is not of the original Riv's vendor quality. And finally note this: the shoulder strap is not adjustable. It is 38" from top of left seam to top of right seam, and if you hold the bag by the center of the strap, the vertical to the top of the flap is about 18".

$40 shipped CONUS.

Also Note: I added a waist strap with rivets
