Re-named the thread. I wanted it to fit more with the latest part posts... :lol:
Here's a few pictures from today. I gave it some sides. This is only a prototype. Still trying to nail down that slope at the top. The pouches are a little thicker than the will actually be. Becuase of the flaps I made inside, to glue the pieces together, and the thickness of the leather, it made them thicker.
I also tried to make the pseudo stitching look real, using the last of my brown dye.

I don't believe the snap is under the surface. I think may be a glued on "snap." Though I could be mistaken.

But glued under the flap, right? If that's the case, then any ones that I may make out of leather won't really show through, because of the leather's thickness.

I've always thought the snaps were just glued on the outside of the flap. And although that pic is of the SE belt, it does have the best pic to show an outside snap, MMM. Honestly, I am unsure if it is inside or out. Logic to me dictates that they would be glued on the outside of the snap, but I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks.

There are three ESB pouches with snaps. I think only two are directly visible. I'll have to check and see if any are "the visible" snap. Could we be looking at one "outer" snap and two inner snaps?

That is of the right ESB middle snap.

I just took a glance at the picture in the VD, and it looks like the pouch, all the way on his left side, looks like it has a male snap on the outside.
Aside from the snaps, any comments on the side slopes of the pouch? Those were tough to try to figure out correctly. Tell me now, before I start making them! :)

Looks pretty good to me, maybe try wet-forming them on a block of wood that has an exagerated (or cut-in) slant to it. This would essentially force open the bend when closed on the pouch and make a tighter seal. If nothing else works, perhaps using a head-knife, or a skiver/grooving tool, along the inside of the bend would make it crisper.

But, like I said, it looks pretty good to me and will eventually "settle" into place most likely. You're donig another outstanding job, SC. Run with this.

While the ESB guys are trying to figure that out, go ahead and take care of us 'snapless' RotJ'ers. :love

I hate to throw specs without my ref pics on hand, but I'm at work at the moment (I really need to copy my CD to this computer).

Anyway, from what I recall, the pouches are white vinyl painted brown. The strap/flap portion of the pouch is a double layer of vinyl (one piece with 2 side folds I think). The snap could then be attached to the inner fold/back side of the flap and then stiched shut.

Does this make sense with no pics? Maybe I'll comb secol's site for examples if I get the time.

SC. The front looks good but I would really like to see you revisit the sides before you set the pouch design in stone. I will be glad to provide any help I can.

The 1.85 comes from Brak's, and he's got a pretty convincing reason for that measurement. It may be just the screen or something, but we're only talking a difference of .15. :)
