Closre System



I didn't want traditional buckles on the front of my bag, so I tried this as a closure system. The metal pieces are one inch strap loop with Plate, I punched quarter inch holes and fed them through and attached them to the inside of the front of the bag before covering it with the pigskin liner. It does leave a bump under there, but they sit almost under the lids of the pockets I put on the front liner. All of the exterior straps were also sewn on prior to lining the inside so they would not show on the liner.

Great idea on the closures. This bag definitely deserves it's own build thread. What weight of leather is that you're using?

The leather is a 4-5oz. Its Tandy's kodiak oil tanned cowhide side in Tan.
