Custom Tool Pouch
« on: December 02, 2016, 12:25:45 PM »
So the original tool pouch for my 850T was, ahem, falling apart. I friend of mine at work offered to make a new one out of some extra shoe leather he had. If you couldn't figure it out from my username... we kinda make shoes here...

I'll see if it holds all the tools but it should last at least as long as the old vinyl one! I think he said he hand stitched it. He can machine stitch too.

Looks good like the original.  Now all have to do is emboss the the Moto Guzzi logo onto the pouch.  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Not exactly custom, er, not custom at all, but I've used gun rugs for 40 years.

When Gary and Gerri break out the Moto Guzzi branding iron, you'll be able to brand the pouch.   :thumb:

It's custom as in I have the only one and it was made to my specs. How do you define custom?

  If I hand stitch something leather, I use synthetic sinew.  It lasts forever, is very compatible with natural leather,
is the strongest stuff you can sew with.  It is available for purchase at places that sell mountain man goods for those who like to do reenactments.  I have been using it for more than thirty years.  It is available in light tan, dark tan and black
colors.  I also use it for whipping the ends of ropes.

It has to have at least 3 of the following features:
Skulls
Eagles
Flames
Fringe
Studs
Conchos
Without those, it's just a long wallet. :cheesy:

Pretty much the same as you.  I was referring to the gun rugs I use as not being custom, just cheap assed repurposing.

Very nice pouch.  You can carry with style now.  Definitely conchos.    :wink:

If you could have gotten a beautiful woman to model it, this crew would have thought it was the best ever.

Reminds me of what our high school Scottish gym teacher used to say:

"If you can't be an athlete, at least be an athletic supporter"!


 :huh:


Carry on.
