AAAAAHHHH my friend - those would be either reinone or MP pouches. To make those out of leather requires wet molding. I have personally looked up how to do it and it doesn't thrill me that much. Basically you need a solid master that you can wrap leather tightly around then you have to put it in water. Now, from what I read, the water needs to be warm and changed every hour to two hours - it is a all day affair to do a set of pouches.
I prefer the simple side pouches that I sell - functional but still custom enough to go with any costume. If you can do those pouches for yourself then I say go for it. You may want to look into some leather sewing tools because, from what I have seen, all those wet molded pouches should be stiched for extra support

That is who made them, reinone. From what I have been reading about, the wet molding, I was going to the leather shop tomorrow and see if I could do something close, without the "ripples". These are all glued and have held up ok, but sewing them makes sense. Oh well, it keeps me from going crazy ;D

reinone pouches...yes...I have a set....and they are indeed awesome! I love them...although I never use the big one anymore....I end up putting too much "stuff" in there and then my belt starts to get pulled down to the close proximity of my ankles after a few hours....
but...
reinone recently had a baby (well...his wife did)...and from what I understand.....he just doesn't have the time to do the pouches anymore...

LOL! Schph, that's why I no longer carry a purse! The bigger it was the more I filled it! My wallet is on my keyring now, and that's it!

I too try to travel light....I feel it a luxury to even have pouches with my Jedi costume....
I can fit one key, a credit card, and a half a pack of cigarettes with a tiny lighter (yes...only a half) buried under my blaster in the blaster holster when I wear my Imperial Officer.... ;D

hey Dave, Thansk for clueing me in on the wet modl idea for pouches.
Now the solid aster, would that be made from maybe plastic or soemthing? I wouldn't think it'd be wood cuz wood swells when wet.

Hey all!
I would love a belt from you, Mon-Jas, if you have the time. I heard from Nova Darklighter at this year's Dragon*Con that you make good ones. I tried email, but that did not seem to work. Also, I'm having trouble seeing these pictures for some reason. Anyone know a fix for that? Thanks much!

Which pictures are you trying to see?
I believe Mon-Jas has been away from home working a ren-faire so he may not have gotten your email just yet. Nova is right, he makes awesome belts!
