Members AlexOstacchini Posted July 4, 2019 Members Report Posted July 4, 2019 Hi all, Had some time to spend on my own stuff again, so here are some Western style wet moulded belt pouches. Hand tooled and stitched, with matching liners and sam browne stud closures. All the same except for colours, so a good exercise in batch production. Quite fun and relatively quick to make compared to a belt or bag. After a bit of reading I think that in hindsight stitching across the belt loop was not the best idea in terms of strength but as these are small and won't be taking any substantial weight I don't think it will be a problem. Cheers and I hope you like them, Alex Quote www.alexostacchini.co.uk Alex Ostacchini Arty Things www.instagram.com/alexostacchini.artythings

Thanks, nothing in particular, keys, coins, etc, any small item really. It's the kind of thing people might have on their belts for archery/bushcrafty type things, so any associated gubbins I suppose. Unfortunately too small for most phones now... 29 minutes ago, garypl said: What type leather are you using 2.5ish mm veg tan backed with thin floppy upholstery type stuff that I have scraps of in abundance.
