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!

Belt Bag

I just finished up this bag for a gentlemen who had sent me a photo of his shot bag ( his bag can be seen below ) and wanted me to make him a belt bag to some what match it. So I copied the style and the tooling of the flap and also tried to match the color of the bag. The bag itself has a small inside pocket and is made from 3oz veg. tanned leather and hand stitched with linen thread, welted seam and a button closer.
