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!

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
