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!

Shot Bag # 73

                                                                                                                                                                          Sometimes I take a little time out and put together a shot bag that isn’t for a customer. This is small simple bag, 6” wide by 7” deep, small inside pocket, welted seam and I lined the flap and trimmed it out with a rolled edge. Add a copper button to hold the flap in place. The strap is 1” wide and fitted with a forged iron buckle. It’s all hand stitched, dyed a dark brown and treated with a bee’s wax and bear oil.
