Should I choose Right-Handed or Left-Handed?
What’s the difference between left-handed and right-handed setups?
It depends on which hand you use to grab tools.
• Right-Handed Bag – Designed for right-handed users. Pockets and tool slots are positioned for easy access with your right hand.
• Left-Handed Bag – Designed for left-handed users. Everything is flipped for easy access with your left hand.
Don’t confuse this with Right Side vs. Left Side Bags. That just refers to where the bag sits on your belt—not how it’s set up inside.
If you’re right-handed and want a bag for your left side, you need a Left Side Bag – Right-Handed Orientation.
If you’re left-handed and want a bag for your right side, you need a Right Side Bag – Left-Handed Orientation.

What materials go into the Modular Looped bags?
Premium Leather
We use 7.5–8 oz chrome-tanned U.S. hides—twice as thick as work boot leather—treated for water resistance and durability. High-wear areas get reinforced with 10–12 oz retan latigo leather for extra toughness.
Metal
Our hammer loops, tool hooks, and drill clips are all stainless steel—strong enough for years of abuse. Long D-rings stay upright under load, preventing unwanted movement.
Rivets
Strategically placed for strength and longevity using solid steel. We add washers to reinforce high-stress areas maximizing durability.
Stitching
We use heavy-duty size 277 bonded nylon thread, triple-stitching stress points and reinforcing with rivets to eliminate failure. Thoughtfully placed seams reduce wear, ensuring durability and a perfect break-in over time.
How do I attach auxiliary bags and accessories?
Our modular system is designed with flexibility in mind. Clip-On accessories can clip to our exterior auxiliary and pencil loops. Looped auxiliary bags are designed to slide onto our Waist and Super Belts. Outer Bags attach to left side main bags with Chicago Screws.
How long to break in my new leather bags?
Your bags may feel stiff at first—that’s on purpose. Leather stretches over time, and we build our bags snug so they don’t end up loose and sloppy after a few months. Give it about 2 weeks of daily use, and it’ll mold to your tools and the way you work.
The best way to break it in? Apply our Leather Balm to any stubborn areas like the pencil loops and suspender pads to help soften the leather, work the leather in with your hands, load up your bags, and get to work. The leather will soften, the pockets will form, and before long, it’ll feel like it was made just for you—because, in a way, it was.
