Everyone Needs A Hip Flask.

[xStarkweather]

So last week I started to make a new holster for my flask. I wet molded a peice of leather for the first time, and barbarically tacked it down with a few brad nails so it could take shape. I was not happy with the final product, the Tooling on it was terrible because I didn't want to hammer down on my flask, and I was to lazy to make a good mold of it.

So here is the finished version of my molded flask pouch.

See what I mean by lackluster tooling?

Then I got a call from a friend Thursday night, He needed a pouch for his flask so that it would be ready by Saturday night at the latest. Knowing that I didn't have enough time to mold a second pouch. I decided to properly design a pattern for his flask (Which I have attached to this post, and also submitted to the patterns and designs thread.)

Here is his final product

And a view from the back. Those rivets hold the strap over the top and the belt loop/bottom in place. The flask wrap is stitched, but the stitches are well hidden.

I am fairly happy with how it all turned out, but I did have to stretch the leather a bit to make it work because I forgot to account for the thickness of the leather in my pattern

Great work there,the second one is nice, simple design and great functionality. Thanks for sharing!
