Had a leather guy ,make me a nice weathered belt bag to hold my priming horn . That keeps me from fishing around in my main bag for my priming horn....easy peasy. Plus I can keep some other “Stuff” in there too.

Nice!!

So... it's like a rustic fanny pack?

Nice pouch! Was going to say "Nice Man Bag" but had second thoughts because I have one much like that.

Nice belt pouch, Nessie.

Nice ! The leatha looks like it might be nubuck ? A soft pliable feel , silky to touch. Nubuck leatha saddles are a dream to ride.

You're all set !

Don’t know a dang thing about horse saddles...lol ..But this is pretty stiff ....to keep its shape. But these contemporary leathah guys have a way to age it....

Looks great!

Ok then ! I was just comparing to saddle leathah ...the object doesn't matter, the feel and look of the product is all I was saying. Looks soft and silky.

Fibings lanolin/silicone oil does wonders for all things leathah . Makes it soft and conditions well. Now all you need is the rifle, bear claw necklace and swede outfit !

Oh boy....my written word was not intended ...you know where Iam going with this. It is smooth to the touch.

?? I knew that , Nessy ...don't have a clue otherwise than that . I relate to riding gear so much , I don't even realize that may not be a common idea with someone else .

Anyway , you are all set with adding these to the rest of the attire of the time !

I have a couple breechcloths I could loan ya, Nessie! They are nice trade wool but my wife sewed in some cotton linings for them...for those hot, chafy days. Many miles and camps on those!

Is that 1780 period correct underware ?.......

Yep, unless somebody looks a little too close. Much like the thong, you know.

Don’t think it’s veg tanned

I wanted a Bark Tanned one....but he didn’t have any. But he distresses the leather ,for that aged look....and Iam happy with it.

Nice belt bag there Ness. Looks a bit like it was inspired by the Lyman pounch. That should definitely help you keep all your smootie shootin stuff organized.

I need to get my leather and tools out, there's a new rifle that is almost ready to head my way and it needs a bag.

Yes ! ...the leather guy said a Lyman style would work for me. Make sure you post some pics of your new gun . That reminds me...I have not had a new smoke pole in about 4 years...Iam due. And I know it would be .54 cal with 44 in barrel Flintah....but don’t have a style picked out yet. Who’s building your gun ? I was thinking of Roy Stroh ..up in Maine for my build....

My dad is building the new rifle. He bought a bunch of parts from an older guy who wasn't building anymore. In that pile was a deluxe large Siler, a full blank in #4 maple and a swamped, c weight 54 caliber Getz barrel. I bought the rest of the parts for a Hermann Rupp inspired rifle. Dad is just about done with the carving, then its on to finish. Should be shooting it in a few weeks.

This is only my 2nd flint rifle in 16 years. I've built two smooothies in that time though.
