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!

Leather covered Flask

This is a nicely made copper flask that is tinned lined, (maker unknown) no leaks. I bought the flask and added the leather cover to it. The leather cover is made from 3oz. veg. tanned leather, hand stitch with waxed linen thread. Hand tooled and dyed a dark brown, treated with neats-foot oil and bee's wax.
This will make a great pocket flask and it's small enough to tuck away in your pack. (3" wide by 4" tall by 1 1/2" )
