Should I choose Right-Handed or Left-Handed?
Whatās the difference between left-handed and right-handed setups?
It depends on which hand you use to grab tools.
⢠Right-Handed Bag ā Designed for right-handed users. Pockets and tool slots are positioned for easy access with your right hand.
⢠Left-Handed Bag ā Designed for left-handed users. Everything is flipped for easy access with your left hand.
Donāt confuse this with Right Side vs. Left Side Bags. That just refers to where the bag sits on your beltānot how itās set up inside.
If youāre right-handed and want a bag for your left side, you need a Left Side Bag ā Right-Handed Orientation.
If youāre left-handed and want a bag for your right side, you need a Right Side Bag ā Left-Handed Orientation.

What materials go into the Modular Looped bags?
Premium Leather
We use 7.5ā8 oz chrome-tanned U.S. hidesātwice as thick as work boot leatherātreated for water resistance and durability. High-wear areas get reinforced with 10ā12 oz retan latigo leather for extra toughness.
Metal
Our hammer loops, tool hooks, and drill clips are built in-house from stainless steelāstrong 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 firstāthatās on purpose. Leather stretches over time, and we build our bags snug so they donāt end up loose and sloppy after a few months. Give it 2ā3 weeks of daily use, and itāll 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, itāll feel like it was made just for youābecause, in a way, it was.
