Yeah,

Let's be for havin' a look see at your sew in' man, we're all friends here. I'm currently working out a pattern for a hair on fowler pouch, I'm looking for a nice hair on goat hide..... I've never done one so it may turn out kinda dodgy lookin', but oh well.

Looking thru all these original possibles bags, it should be pretty easy to make

The current issue of Muzzleloader just arrived a few days ago. The "do it yourself" article by T.C Albert is all about replicating an original hair-on hunting pouch (with patterns and instructions) with the powder horn and measure that came with it.

He used hair-on skin from a young goat, laminated to a vegetable tanned leather base. If you don't want the hair on it, you could just use the plain leather.

I have no doubt there were some very nice and very elaborate pouches back in the Shining Times, but I think a lot of the originals were pretty simple. I believe fabric linings, brass rings, and multiple pockets were probably less common. Museums and collectors typically go for the best, the finest, the superlative examples. These are the ones we often see on display. I suspect a lot of the plain and simple ones mouldered away hanging in old barns and smokehouses. The one Mr. Albert replicates in the Muzzleloader article is really very basic and functional. I find it very appealing.

The pouch article is a nice complement to Mike Nesbitt's column in the same issue about the basic necessities to put in the pouch for a day's shooting.

Good luck with your project, Hoss.

It was an interesting article, TC. Well written and very informative. I like to see the old time "workhorse" guns and gear getting their due, along with the fancy stuff. The techniques discussed in these articles are just as important as the items themselves.

I hope you'll keep that column going for as long as you can.

Best regards,

Notchy Bob
