Cutom Leather DG Bag and Retofit

[peppermack]

I just made a cool set of leather bag tags for someone, got the idea off Pinterest.

Peppermack made me and my dad a sweet set of belt mounted bags last year. His work is definately high quality. Checking out the modified bag has got me thinking...

Gracias. No doubt that the leather makes a fashion statement. I appreciate the tip offer!

I actually have been giving this some thought, and I think I am going to split the difference and try one in heavy-duty canvas (probably with some sort of internal frame) before I decide if I want to make the jump to leather instead. Since canvas is a reasonably "normal" fabric, I can do a mock-up with some scrap lightweight fabrics I already have and not have to shell out any $ yet.

But this summer...

Would also like to see photos of these.
Get your bag retro fitted by Peppermack! Totally worth it.
I just shot a tournament (Prairie Open) today and got a lot of comments on how cool my bag is. People really liked it. Something different from your off the wall stuff.

Very well done.

I don't think I took a pic of the bag tags? Maybe I will make another set to show ya all.

An all Leather bag like Banging Chains is somewhere in the range of $80-90 buck plus shipping. 40-50 bucks of that is materials cost alone. It takes 15-20 hours to make one. So if you calculate it out I am not making much $$.

A much simpler bag can be had for 50-60. Or like the ones I made for Sid a bit less.

I also do custom sheaths, belts, dog collars, and lots of other stuff.

To Mod a bag really depends on what ya want done.

Mostly I just like making em and each person usually wants something a little special so that aspect is fun.

Just cut out another bag tag, I think it will look good with Banging Chains bag when I am done

The ones I made for the other people were much fancier. This one is pretty plain but gives you an idea of size and what it sort of looks like. I just banged this one out for this afternoon to send to Banging Chains cause it will look nice with his retrofitted bag
