chisler 90 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Any advice on the best thickness of leather to use for pouches please. Cheers Chisler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carlstoke 31 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I find the thickness not to critical, you need it supple but strong with not to much stretch, Kangaroo leather is the best strong and long lasting, try ebay for the Kangaroo pouches theres a seller selling four or five for a fiver mate.

chisler 90 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Cheers for that, I've been using some old leather I've had for years, it's just under 2mm thick, last night whilst shooting it tore by the hole where the band folds through, I was wearing my safety spec's .

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Leather shoe tongue! You get a fair few pouches out of a old Dewalt rigger boot. Tough they are too. I reuse them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Was chucking out an old pool table the other day and made some pouches out of the leather in the corners not the best but still good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
