Skull Cameo with Orange Dragon Eyes for Halloween on Black Ribbed Longer Belt Pouch

$50.00

The basic ribbed pouch is a staple of the Fabriquewerx legacy. Most are offered as plain pockets for you, the user, to utilize as you see fit. But once in a while it is fun to add decorative elements, if only to demonstrate how much fun it can be to go a little crazy.

And it was Halloween this time around. The silver framed Skull presented as a Cameo was stitched at the top then glued with contact cement onto the center front of the existing black pouch. I added a pair of orange dragon eye charms to either side of the Skull , then stitched a larger filigree framed orange dragon eye centered below the flap and diagonally lined a pair of silver and black plastic filigree buttons on either side down the front of the pocket.

The heavier weight of the decorative elements on the flap actually assist the magnetic snap in keeping the pouch closed. The pocket size used for this project was built before the day of larger smartphones and will not accommodate many phones, measuring only 4-1/4” Wide x 5-3/4” Long X 1” deep, so buyer beware and measure your phone first, if this is a function you need.

This rounded ends stiff boxlike pouch is constructed out of med weight veg tan (about 5 oz) using my most classic pattern and building techniques(see description below) and fits on belts up to 2-3/4” wide. The belt shown in photos with this pouch is sold separately in another listing. In other words: BELT IS NOT INCLUDED.

Classic style pouches were originally made as companions to my galactic knight belt collection. They are simple and sturdy—cut in one long rectangular piece with a rounded end that form the body of the pocket and the flap when stitched onto the side panels (also round ended rectangles) with a favorite overcast and wrapped stitch at about 1” intervals and sealed completely with leather cement glue. A line carved about 1/8” to 1/4” from the edge encircles the entire body of the pouch and the side panels. A second line at about 1/4” from the first goes round the body , then vertical lines at about 1/2” apart form the ribbed texture that is the defining characteristic of this classic look. The very simplicity of this design makes these pouches a perfect companions for many multi eras and looks. Pouches are usually oiled, then often dyed with a combination of antique gel and colors—black, bison brown, java brown, British tan, and oxblood, and finally finished with more oil and several coats of acrylic sealant to protect the pieces from leaching onto costumes. I offer this belt pouch in four different sizes—tiny, original, cell phone long, and wider (also accommodates phones). A magnetic snap glued invisibly to the flap and glued a second time with a fabric protector pairs with the hammer set receiver positioned about 1” from the top of the pocket determines the final size of the pouch. And the belt loop attaches to the pouch back with glue, rivets and stitching. Need other sizes or colors? Reach out to me on my contact page. Ready for carrying your necessities for a day at a festival or show as is or for decorating with your own aesthetic.
