New Possibles Bag

[bacarper]

Just showing off the new possibles bag I just finished making. Not going for historical accuracy, just tried designing something that would specifically help make this next dove and quail season a little bit easier. Kit still needs a few things but I'm stoked on how it's turning out.

Nice job!!

Looks awesome man, big fan of the size too! I just built my first one, on pretty similar principles honestly- mines buckskin and definitely not as pretty as yours, meant to be more of a bullet bag/ Fannie pack than anything period correct

Nice stitching. What weight leather is that?

It's about 4-5 oz leather. A neat trick I picked up a while ago was to impregnate the leather with Vaseline. This really helps soften up the leather and give it more of a garment leather look and feel on thicker pieces like this. After staining, I'll just work about a tablespoon worth of Vaseline into each individual piece for approximately 15-20 minutes.

Thanks for the vaseline tip, I'll give it a try. You said that you stain it, is this veg tan?

Yeah, just normal veg tan leather that you would pick up from somewhere like Tandy.

Nice, it looks like it will perform well it's intended function.
