So, I've been wanting to do one of these tool pouches for awhile now and I finally got the chance. I sized it up to fit in the turnout/bunker pants and can be removed when/if needed. It's set up to fit the tools and keep them in place for easier access instead of rolling around in the pockets. It also prevents the tools to from eventually wearing through the pockets and having to continuously get them repaired (firefighters will know what I'm talking about).

I went with a 5/6 oz veg tan and added an extra piece on the top portion (9-11 portion) for a little more rigidity when your removing it from the pocket. Some nice strong copper rivets to hold the tools in place and keep them secure. A clip to attach anything on a ring like keys or in this case, some allen wrenches.

I decided to go with this configuration of the pouch instead of a wet form to keep the bottom of the pouch 1 piece. I figured if I had more stitches on the bottom, the wear and tear would break it down a little quicker. I don't know if that would be true but I went with it anyway.

It is a little heavier than I wanted but with what it's going to be put through, I needed to make it durable. Anyway, I'll take any constructive criticism or suggestions you want to through at me…thanks.

Thanks Paramedic04…it was a long time coming. So far, it's been pretty nice. As I start to use it and if I find things that would have changed, I'll mention it. That way you'll put together a more practical one…Stay safe!!
