Title: Plain Mid 18th Century Outfit
Post by: Mark Elliott on August 28, 2019, 07:35:34 PM: I thought that I would share this mid 18th Century outfit that I just finished. It is a relatively simple and plain shot pouch based on the one in the Clash of Empires catalog with just a little bit of tooling on the flap. The pouch has a center divider that acts as a welt. The edges are well burnished. I used the same button strap adjustment as on my early VA pouch. The pewter flap button is attached to a horn button on the inside so that the stitches will not pull through the leather. All the buttons are backed by another button.

The plain horn is based on the one on p. 13 of Powder Horns, Documents of History by Tom Grinslade. The horn is 14 1/2" around the outside curve not including the staple or stopper. The base of the horn is about 3". These two are going to be used with a relatively plain Jaeger.

Beautiful work. Nice simple classic lines.

Quick question, what are the dimensions of the bag?

Thanks for sharing,

Kevin

Thank you Mark!

Post by: scottmc on August 30, 2019, 01:19:05 AM: Very nice set. Plain and simple which I like. The tooling gives it a little extra character without going over the top. I do, too, especially like the horn even though I'm a bag nut.
