Orientation (Left-Hand vs Right-Hand)
Handedness refers to how the bag is set up inside, not which side it goes on.
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.
Choosing a bag for your left side? That doesn’t mean you need a “left-handed” bag.
If you’re right-handed and wear a bag on your left side, you need a Left Side Bag – Right-Handed Orientation.

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 built in-house from stainless steel—strong enough for years of abuse. Long D-rings stay upright under load, preventing unwanted movement.
Rivets
Placed for strength, longevity, and aesthetics, using solid copper and brass where needed. Chicago screws reinforce high-stress areas like the rafter square slot, adding durability, easy replacement, and a clean, polished look.
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. Auxiliary bags, tool clips, and add-ons can be attached using leather loops, Chicago screws, or metal clips, depending on the accessory.
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 2–3 weeks of daily use, and it’ll mold to your tools and the way you work.
The best way to break it in? Load it up 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.
SET THE FOUNDATION
Build From the Belt Up
Your modular setup starts with the right foundation. Whether you go with the classic Waist Belt, the quick-release Super Belt, or add suspenders for extra support, your belt sets the stage for a rig that stays secure, balanced, and ready for anything.

Beautiful. Quality and feel are amazing. Looks sexy on the harness. Will check in after a few weeks.
I am a union carpenter. The best tool bag I have ever used. It fits all my tools perfectly. I would buy it again in a heartbeat
Been looking at these belts for years, finally pulled the trigger on just the right side pouch and I couldn’t be happier. As others have said it is a little heavier than a typical belt but it’s very stout and I know it’ll last me my career, and I’ll carry a little extra weight for that. Almost immediately after trying the pouch I was pricing a full belt, modular, and am pinching my Pennies to afford it, and I know it’ll be worth every cent.
Awesome!!! Can’t imagine going back to a different style of bag’s anymore. Holds all the tools I use now and still have room for more.
Live the rig so far. Really like the customizable aspect that you guys introduced
Very well designed layout and well throughout design. Does what it should
Awesome product, really well made!
Well thought out, a step above Occidental in leather quality and layout
Love all the dividers: no more pile of tools
👌 perfect
Good
Best quality I ever saw ...
No issues
Love the pouch but I noticed a few things that I’m still not used to with the setup. I don’t feel like the spots for a normal carpenter pencil up front of the pouch is a great spot because as I run a straight claw hammer, I find the claw sometimes get caught and digs into my pencils. I have seen the Pika pencil get run there and I do believe it wouldn’t be an issue however, I have just been putting the pencil inside the pouch in the slots to avoid this issue. The slot towards the back of the main pouch is where my knife sits but I’m unsure if it’s just because it’s a new setup for me but it does seem hard to find sometimes when you reach round to grab it or retune it to the slot. I do have nips in the way however, I do wonder if an additional pouch on the outside for your knife might be better suited for ease of access. Still a 10/10 pouch and love it so far!
its perfect best bag i’ve ever purchased
Very well built you can tell a lot of care and high quality materials were used, ample space for all my essentials.
Excellent quality
As as left handed person it is wonderful to have such a high quality bag that is actually suited for me instead of spinning my right handed set around to "make it work". I am planning on switching all of my bags over to Akribis!
Best leather bags I've bought ever
Thank you Akribis and team
I love these bags, very high quality, and top notch craftsmanship
I've waited a long time to buy these tool belts and bags and I love them! Super good quality and craftsmanship! I would highly recommend these to fellow workers.
Love this bag, very well thought out. The bit index is awesome. Tool loops are great although for my setup it would be nice to have another one or two for different pliers. Kind of struggling to figure out what to keep in the screw driver slots (not a complaint, more operator error) Hammer loop is great and it's REALLY nice having a solid spot to hang an impact.
10/10 overall, very flexible and with a little creativity, I don't doubt this is an excellent bag for the majority of construction disciplines.
Perfecto
I really like this pouch. But I’d rather the little pouches for screwdrivers or whatever were wider to fit things like snips or pliers.
Stellar ceaftmanship and quality product. Well thought out layout.
Love it
I have been general contractor for 30 years.
Best quality tool belt I have ever owned.
You won't be disappointed
Love the design on this bag. Had never used a diagonal hammer holder but I am loving it. Doesn’t hit you on the leg. Chalk line pouch is killer didn’t have a dedicated pouch on my last set of bags. Don’t expect everything to fit nicely out of the box but give it some time and it tools fit great in the loops.
