Early pouch

This is my interpretation of a pouch with characteristics that would be considered by most to be pre-19th century.  It has an internal divider that serves as a welt, and a brass buckle.  The pouch was stained with vinegar and rust.

Barktan shot pouch

This is a simple shot pouch made from bark-tanned deer hide, lined with linen canvas and pillow ticking.  It also has a barktan strap with a small metal buckle and a pocket stitched into the rear interior.  It measures 9 1/2" wide by 8" tall.



Large flap bag

This is a simple bag with a large flap inspired by southern-mountain style bags I've seen, both originals and contemporary examples. It is vegetable tan cowhide aged and dyed brown.  There is a hanging rear inside pocket and an iron buckle for adjustment.
