Depends entirely on what you mean by

so the leather actually stays in place

vertically or rotationally.. or both..multiple solutions, all of them easy, each solution takes less than 30 seconds to do ..if you make the leather "wrap" ( making the "leather wrap" is not included in the 30 seconds solutions )carefully.

Horizontal thinking of a handle as well handle is the easy part

Ok..so that depends on what you mean by "handle"..what form do you want it ( the handle ) to take..and do you want it to be made from leather, and ( if you do ? ) do you want it to be made from the same piece as the wrap..and with or without sewing..and what thickness of leather to use for each part of the "assembly".

Btw..a comma or two in that sentence, would aid one in making sense of 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

I'm thinking , if you could get some "product placement" on  NCIS..

 

Maybe send a personalized "tooled "version to Mark Harmon.

Can we see a recent picture?

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.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

You could use the mason jar ( in leather holder ) as a shaving soap mug ( if that is what you call it, the mug that you work up the soap foam in )...you could make a leather holder for the brush and the knife..I can see it now..leather shaving set..with Cusson's Imperial Leather soap ( when I was a kid that was a brand, maybe still is..I wouldn't know, I have a beard )..but the idea of a shaving set is good..in a leather shaving bag..

I can see it now..we're gonna be rich..I can see the yacht..right next to Larry's.

With a quart jar you could make the whole travel kit. Toothbrush and all.
