Wouldn't it be a bear to clean out the glass?

There could be many ways to do it. Elastic and leather, Snaps and leather, Lace etc......  Just depends on your look you are going for...

I am wraping the leather on the outside of said jar or wanting to at any rate, and hmm making a removable jacket of sorts might be an interesting idea!!

Is this a drinking Mason jar or a storage mason jar?

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Honestly I was going to say glue until I realized that you are fishing for a solution to a problem you won't share so you can profit from it.

I made mine almost 4 years ago and i use it everyday for both hot and cold drinks, I measured the circumference of the mason jar and overlapped by about a half inch. I used 3 plan old rivets to hold it together and attached the handle the same way. I have had no issues at all with the jar slipping out. This pic was taken just after I made it. It has darkened in the most amazing way. Love my mug holder

Ok, so for consumption then. I would make a ¼ or ½ lid with snaps across part of the top of the sleeve. And then of course a bottom and possibly a handle.
