First Attempt Leatherman Pouch

[rossirossi]

Thank you for all the help topics & people posting up therir work for ideas. This took me about 15 hours! Learnt alot, made a few mistakes but happy for a first attempt. 3mm leather wet molded. Fiebings light brown spirit dye, 2 coats of neatsfoot & 2 coats of resolene finish. Gravitas & hedgehog leatherworks are the style i'm trying to achieve.Definitly hooked, hope you like it.

Well done. Very nice. My only suggestion is I would have put the belt loop higher up on the back. It might sit on the belt better with the center of gravity lower.

Very clean looking the molded part is superb.

I really like it.

By the looks of it it mounts horizontally. Maybe not, hard to tell from pic.

Second guessing that now. :S if it doesn't I agree fully.

After looking again I agree. It does look like it mounts sidways. If that is true then it's fine.

It mounts normally, facing up. One of the mistakes i made was designing it with the belt loop in the middle. I ended up doing this so it could be stitched either side. I can imagine this will sit quite high & be annoying. Oh well, chin up father!

Thank you for the kind comments & constructive criticism.

As a sweeping generality , pay lots of attention to belt loop build quality and design . They are a pain to repair .

Actually, ya might find the midway belt loop to be just what the doctor ordered - I have a leatherman that's still in the original case with high belt loop - It's pretty comfortable there right up till I get in my truck - when I mold one up, it's gonna have a lower loop to sit higher on my waist and not get in the way of seatbelt, center console etc. Everyone's a different fit ;0)
