Canvas Belt Pouch with Leather & Horn Toggle - Outlet

Canvas Belt Pouch with Leather & Horn Toggle – Handmade for LARP, SCA & Reenactment

Authentic Design and Quality Materials

This pouch catches the eye with its combination of robust, densely woven canvas (available in black or brown) and genuine cowhide leather details. The leather trim reinforces the edge of the rounded flap, enhancing its durability. The most distinctive feature is the unique toggle closure using an elongated button made from real horn or bone, which passes through a leather loop securely attached to the pouch body. This traditional fastening not only looks great but is also reliable. On the back, you'll find sturdy loops for attaching to belts up to 6.9 cm (2.7 inches) wide.

A Glimpse into History: Pouches for Every Adventurer

Combining textiles and leather was common in pouch and bag making throughout history. Canvas or linen was more readily available, while leather provided reinforcement at the points of greatest stress – around the fastening, on the edges, and the loops. Toggle closures made from natural materials like wood, bone, or horn were widespread before the mass adoption of metal buckles. Such pouches were carried by pilgrims, soldiers, craftsmen, and common folk alike to store coins, food, tools, and personal trinkets.

Modern Uses: Not Just for History and Fantasy

The "Adventurer" pouch is an ideal choice for participants in LARPs, SCA events, reenactment battles, and visitors to historical markets. Its authentic look will perfectly complement your costume. However, it's also practical enough for modern use – comfortably holding a mobile phone, keys, wallet, dice, or other small items you want to keep handy, whether you're on an epic weekend adventure or just out for a walk.

An Interesting Historical Tidbit

Horn and bone were valued materials in the past for their strength and ease of working when heated. They were used not only for buttons and toggles but also for combs, tool handles, drinking horns, and small ornaments.

Caring for Your Canvas Pouch with Leather and Horn

1. Cleaning Canvas: Remove minor dirt from the canvas with a dry brush. For larger stains, use a slightly damp cloth and possibly a little mild soap, but try not to soak the leather parts. Do not machine wash.
2. Leather Care: Keep the leather parts (trim, toggle loop, belt loops) supple by occasionally applying a leather conditioner. Protect the leather from prolonged exposure to moisture.
3. Horn Care: The horn toggle is a natural material. Do not expose it to extreme heat or prolonged dampness. Clean it only with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
4. Storage: Store the pouch in a dry, ventilated place. You can lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.
