shinelightshine Report post Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) My good friend's birthday is in a couple days, and he's a pipe enthusiast. I decided to make him a simple tobacco pouch that he can keep in an inner jacket or pant pocket. It holds about 2-3 pipe's worth of tobacco. My original intention was to dye the leather a dark, rich brown, but I ended up deciding to leave it natural veg tan. The only dye I have on hand right now is Fiebings dark brown oil dye which smells pretty harsh. I didn't want the chemical smell to interfere with any tobacco my friend put in the pouch, so I opted to leave it natural. Besides, it will develop a really nice patina over time. I put a little pocket on the back to hold matched, or a pipe tool, or a lighter. It was a fun little project! -Nick Edited June 23, 2013 by shinelightshine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewart Report post Posted June 23, 2013 That is a T/pouch that has a future. I also partake in pipes but not travel with them. That is a clean design. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
