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

Alex, those are beautiful pouches.  What type leather are you using?

Those are really neat!  What are they intended to hold?

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...

2.5ish mm veg tan backed with thin floppy upholstery type stuff that I have scraps of in abundance. 

 

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks, fiebings pro dyes followed by neetsfoot oil and tan kote- going across they are black, dark brown, british tan, mahogany, and saddle tan. The tooling is just neetsfoot oil, with tan kote as the resist and dark brown antique paste

cheers!
