I like fancy pouches. I also like the whole ‘form follows function’ thing. I was at a museum that had a pouch that was made from one piece of leather. No stitching, just a piece of leather to hold it together. I almost imagined someone with a hide, a knife and a need. The pouch was dated late 18th to early 19th centuries and was made to fit on the belt.
My version is 4oz cow hide, bark/veg tanned and is held together with a leather wang. 7” X 7” and the strap is 53” but can be adjusted to make it an inch longer or as short as you want by merely pinching a few holes and retracing the leather thong. It’s a basic pouch that is made in a basic way.
It’s perfect for just slipping on the belt and is just as at home on a trekking, hiking trip as it is at rendezvous. You can put just about anything in it from gun accessories to a compass or ‘gasp’ a cell phone or wallet.
$55 shipped. If you require a buckle that’s $15 extra. I never understood why all the reenactors at rendezvous carry guns, horns and accoutrements that are fancy enough to do the king proud when soooo many people were dirt poor and had to make do with the barest of essentials. I take PayPal, checks, money orders, cleverly concealed cash and like that. Thanks for your consideration. -Rocklocks
