New Frank Barker bag
« on: August 31, 2011, 12:03:16 AM »
My Frank Barker bag came in  yesterday an just thought Id show it to everyone. I sat down an figured out what I wanted ( size,how many pockets, how wide of strap) an drew it out an sent it to Frank an he done me up right an sent me exactly what I wanted. He put my knife on the front strap an I put my loading block an pic an brush on front strap also. Fit an feel is perfect an come this fall this will get carried several miles an spend quite a few days up a tree. This is my third Barker bag. Ive got one for my smoothbore, one for smallbore an this one is for my .54s. Hope Yall like. :)

Nice bag--is it hand stitched or machine stitched?  Stitching looks really even and well done.

My understanding is that he hand stitches his bags. all I can tell you is they look as good inside as out. He does a knockout job :)

Hey Guys.....Thanks for the nice compliments. All of my pouches are hand stitched. Tim Albert once said that one of the ultimate compliments is when someone is trying to determine if your stitching was by machine or by hand. I have been doing this for about 40 years so the answer is lots of practice. Thanks and Kind Regards  Frank
