Should I choose Right-Handed or Left-Handed?
What’s the difference between left-handed and right-handed setups?
A right-handed setup places your most-used tools (hammer, knife, square, etc.) on your right side, while fasteners and secondary tools are on the left. A left-handed setup is a mirror image—your main tools are on the left, and fasteners shift to the right.
Every Akribis belt is available in both right-handed and left-handed versions, ensuring an ergonomic, efficient workflow no matter your preference. For modular setups, simply choose left-handed bags to configure your rig. For Stitched-In-Place belts, we offer fully left-handed versions where every pocket and tool slot is positioned for natural use.
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.
