I've been doing leather working for a few years and I came up with a little piece to use for 10 meter AP shooting. It's a loop for my offhand that snaps over the belt and keeps the thumb at a comfortable spot. I made it from full grain leather, hand dyed and hand stitched. The inside is suede lined for a soft touch. All top-grade materials that should last decades and the surface is wax sealed so it should patina nicely.
I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on the design of this piece. I've seen a couple of the belts with loops that a few of the shooting sport companies offer, but I always thought they were kind of ugly and not comfortable looking. I figured I'd try my hand at my own design.
I'm thinking of making a batch of these for sale if anyone is interested in a handmade accessory. I can do right- or left-hand, and different colors for the cover, lining, and stitching. Hit me up with a private message if there's any interest.
