SLT
A streamlined, mid-size, non-dominant-side bag for framing, forming, and general carpentry. The SLT is more slim than the LT and moves the tape location to the hip. The main compartment fits a standard 7” rafter square, while auxiliary loops and pockets keep your fasteners and tools accessible.
A high forward-facing tape pocket, diagonal nail puller sheath, and interior stick nail sheath ensure quick access to essentials. Customize your SLT with optional outer bags and a 5” Micro Square Slot to tailor it to your workflow.
Available in left-handed and right-handed configurations.

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.
