First Project Off Belts

[89cherokeelimited]

So i'm fairly new to leather.
I have done belts for a few months now and some hybrid holsters. My hybrids i've made so far are just flat 8-9 oz leather with molded kydex. Nothing fancy yet.

My brother in law asked me if I could do an ammo pouch for the belt I made him.

The ammo pouch isn't anything special just something I drew up on paper and measured about 300 times before cutting my leather.

I'm a perfectionist so I measure and contemplate for 2 hours before I cut anything lol

The colors do match but the pictures were taken with two different phones so they come out a hair different in the pictures.

He also wants a holster for his revolver to match which i'm starting on today.

The ammo pouch fits 50x .40 S&W rounds in it.

Sits on a belt quite nicely too.

Here is the belt.

Looking great! May I ask what size of grommets you use and the weight of the leather?

Thank you!

I used 5/16" grommets with 8-9 oz 2" strap for the belt.

Very nice, I especially like that pouch.

Thank you!

It came out better then I was expecting honestly.

I figured my first shot at it would be a disaster. If they just get better from here that would be awesome!

One thing I want to try next is water molding a pouch.
