Leather Shot Bags & Accouterments for the French & Indian War.

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!

Spring Trade Fairs Begin

Kalamazoo, Fort Frederick, and Martin’s Station. I start at the first of the new year making product for the upcoming spring season events. All were very good this year. The weather for the most part was good, nothing to keep the crowds away. Sales were good and I have a few orders in the book to start on after a little break and to finish up my turkey season. Thanks to everyone for their support and just stopping by to say hello. Take Care!
