Possibles Pouch or Manbag You Decide!

[shep]

I just finished my first possibles pouch. Wet-molded over a suitable piece of tuppaware, hardened with beeswax, with a simple Sam Browne stud fastening. I'm quite pleased with it, but SWMBO has suggested it might look like a handbag in the wrong light!

If the poll comes out in favour of handbag, I'll add a leather strap across the middle to avoid any further confusion! It does have belt loops on the back, honest.

Nice work, I would be happy to wear it on my belt.

looking very nice. Do you also h ave some assembly pictures?
I would love to see a tutorial of that. and by the way, where would one get such leather? (pref. in the netherlands )

If it has belt loops its a possibles pouch as far as i'm concerned... I have one similar to it... as well as a few man bags

Nice job Shep, looks similair to some of the ones I make.

As Squidders said there ain't a great deal of difference to be honest, they are used for a very similar purpose in as much as you carry things that you may possibly need. Main difference is contents, with a bloke it could contain any number of practical things, with a woman it will hold wallets, makeup, sewing kit (possibly including the sewing machine) and any number of non essentials which we men could not dream of fitting in to a pouch that size. In the end women are just better at packing than men.

Nice first effort:You_Rock_

The leather is le prevo 2.6mm columbo side (2nd quality). I'm going to make more so I will compile some assembly photos next time.
Cheers.

I voted possible's pouch! I like it, mate.. How big is it?

 

[shep]

6" wide by 4" high by about 1.5" deep. Sort of 'clutch bag' size . Although you guys are helping to allay my paranoia - and win the 'discussion' with the wife!

 

[jojo]

I was not trying to allay your paranoia, mate. Just joining in and participating in it

It's a possibles pouch without doubt. The only reason your missus says it's like a handbag is 'cos she wants it for herself.

It's a Possibles Pouch, what else could it be. Why do you doubt it? Keep the faith!!!uppy_dog

dont you wear a man bag over your shoulder? I dont know as I dont own one.....

Look, if it makes you feel any better I've thought of buying one of these for travelling, never seem to have enough pockets. Whats wrong with a manbag - perfectly functional, and you can always dance around it at a bushmoot.

Oh dear oh dear. I see I've opened a can of worms here!

 

[EdS]

belt loop on the back and a D ring on either side to a strap.

That way you've got a "what every possible bag"

 

[Jodie]

I nearly went for handbag (although it reminds me more of a lovely satchel - it's very
nice by the way) but noticed how ungirly the clip was...so definitely not a handbag.

Add a leather leg loop at the bottom and it will look positively military.
