I call this my A. J. Miller bag. I got the design from the work of artist A. J. Miller, who documented the 1837 Rocky Mountain Trappers’ Rendezvous. You may want to check him out: he’s the go-to source for 1830s - 1840s authenticity.
The old-timers would have made this bag with nothing but a short knife, an awl, and a piece of good leather. The lace is cut from the same hide as the bag. The leather is treated with waxes, oils, and dyes so that the color lightens where it is stretched or bent. Marks and minor scratches can be rubbed out with your hand. This is called a “pull-up” finish and is considered a sign of high quality, especially for rugged outdoor use.
I have personally carried a bag like this for years and find it has plenty of room for all my “possibles” without being cumbersome. The strap being attached to the back of the bag keeps it hanging close to the body with minimal “swing” The front pocket and extra strings make it easy to organize your “possibles” for fast and easy loading.
I make them to order, one at a time, and initial and date each one. 9”x7”x 1 1/2”. No two exactly alike!

Jim, I was able to field test your bag a few days ago! What a great shooting bag! Never once did it feel bothersome, swing around in my way or worse, flop around at my side while hiking through the rocky stuff. I look forward to hunting season! Jonathan Koziol, Frontier Muzzleloading
