Welcome to my Blog! My name is Darrel Lang and I specialize in the Replication of Leather shot bags & Accouterments made in the colonies by the harness and saddle maker of the18th century. All items are hand sewn using waxed linen thread, dyed, then treated with neatsfoot oil & bee’s wax. The leather used is of veg. tanned cow hide 2-3 or 4-5 oz. weight. Other materials used are pig skin, period correct linens for the 18th century and iron or brass buckles. Please take a look at what I have to offer. Thank you!

Powder Flask

I was sent this leather powder flask to make up a leather strap so that it could be carried over ones shoulder. I made the strap 1 1/4" wide and tapered it down to 1" add some tooling. I was asked to looking it over and make sure it was sound. I worked in a few coats of bee's wax. I'm not sure of the maker of this flask but they did a fine job.

Large Knife & Sheath

 This is a large style trade knife, so I made the leather sheath a little stiffer by adding a thicker welt and also making it a little wider to prevent it from bending when the knife is removed from the sheath.It is made to wear on the left side under the belt or sash, I added a leather belt loop to keep it in place when wearing it under the belt, a tie can be added to tie it in place when wearing a sash.
