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!

New Belt Bags

The first one is made for a member from Wulff's Co. The bag is made from 3oz. veg. tanned leather, hand sewn with linen thread, dyed a dark brown and treated with oil and bee's wax. The flap has some tooling done to it. The bag size is 5" deep by 6" wide with a 1 1/4" gusset, the back of the bag has two belt loops attach to fit up to a 2 1/2" belt.






The second bag is made the same as the first but, has no gusset added just a welted seam.
