Title: Mountain man pouch with gray fox flap...
Post by: medicinewheel on September 30, 2021, 04:02:49 am

My first attempt of a Mountain man pouch I finished this morning. Body is buckskin and gray fox flap, lined with cotton cloth, strap is from a lady on German EBay. Might age it some more...

Nice really like that ! I've had the "Butt" end of a Badger Hide I used in making a Knife Sheath laying around, and plan on doing the same thing. Well done  :-M - Bob.

Thanks all!
Ed: I used a large furrier's needle for stitching.
Bob: Badger should work just fine for such a flap.

Nice work! Looks like your contact in Germany does some nice inkle loom weaving.

I like to soak my white linen cobbler's thread in coffee or tea before stitching leather. I like the aged look it gives and the jarring pure white doesn't hold the eye's attention on my uneven stitching!

Thanks again!

@JW: yes, that contact is great, send her pics of what I want and she did it. I'll do some coffee staining on an extra piece, also on the inside of the pocket to check it out.
