Monster Hunter Kit Leather Decorative Costume Accent Vampire Burgundy Hair On

$34.00

Inspired by 15 years on the road with the Supernatural gang, these one of a kind mini leather pockets made to be worn on belt are filled with multi media items— stakes, bones, syringes, vials of vampire ashes, potions or herbs, eating utensils, holy water, oils, and weaponry are decorated with sewn on or dangling chains, pentacles, spell books, keys, bloody knives, guns ,skeleton and ghost charms and more. Every kit has a vial of salt, “tube” of holy oil, a syringe of dead man’s blood, mini handcuffs to hold your mini monsters and hand assembled silver “bullets” and a pentacle charm

This particular kit is a fairly traditional ( for me) vampire hunters kit— front and center on the distressed hair on burgundy pocket is larger silver cross, along with the bloody knife, the impressive hunter’s gun. Both the deadman’s blood syringe and the silver bullet back extend below the pocket along with the ghost, medium pentacle charm, holy water, mini handcuffs, tree of life and dangling silver tone chain, all elements belonging to the supernatural hunter.

Tucked into the pocket along with the stakes, salt, holy oil, glittery vampire ashes trophy bottle is a vial of yarrow and a sword for removing heads. All elements are labeled with their chemical signatures tying these kits to the original scientific steampunk kits that inspired these decorative accents. Silver tone brass knuckles charm sits atop the ribbed black hardboard that supports the pocket.

The nonfunctioning decorative kit measures about 10” L X 3-3/4” W X 1-1/8” D and can hang on a wall or a belt up to 2” wide as shown below.

WARNING: All of these monster hunter kits (and most especially those with the real blades) are to be kept away from all young children and babies, and should be considered for adults only—18 and older.

The Original Scientific Steampunk Field Test Kits were developed in 2007 simply as a novelty item to utilize some weirdly cut saddle skirt leather (very thick very hard) scraps from Jedi belts and a bag of discontinued scientific equipment and supplies found at a local scientific shop located near a downtown museum. I needed something that screamed “Steampunk” so by gluing said science stuff on to soft pockets then dangling chains with jump rings from the bottom to hold more supplies, gears, and keys. The anchor point of the design was always the metallic painted vials that were created to look like test tubes, tucked into the pocket and backed by tooled, stamped, embossed painted and/or dyed hard backs.

These kits were wildly popular, priced super low in the beginning, mostly due to the instability and the disposable nature of the idea. Little did I know, after 15 years of evolution the steampunk movement and my leathercrafting skills would mean that I would still be making new improvements, developing characters and steampunk themes yearly (these newer versions are far more detailed and durable featuring mostly sewn on and glue reinforced elements. . . ) or that every version would be completely unique while still keeping the steampunk elements intact.

Early on I realized that glass and metal would make these designs too heavy and dangerous to be really viable as something to carry around the waist or sewn on chest area aprons or lab coats, so I began the practice of seeking and reworking plastic tools, tubes, vials, and syringes, increasing my time investment in the ideas.

The field test kit product spawned the monster hunting kits in 2011 which surprisingly increased the interest in the original field test kits. I only thought steampunk (and this product) would die a quick death of disinterest. The stories are just beginning.
