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.

Love it!
Quality product
It holds all the tools I need for my day to day
Still getting used to having my tape on the left side but I see the workflow benefit. Very solid construction. Speed square slot is unreal, cant imagine it falling out ever again.
Très content , adapté à mes besoins.
Love this combination of pouches and slots for holding all sorts of fasteners and any tool I could possibly need! The only downside of this bag is that the tape measure pouch is not big enough for a 25' Milwaukee, but your just able to squeeze a 16' Milwaukee tape measure when wearing the belt.
The highest quality!
👍👍👍👍👍
Very happy with the layout of where everything falls. Upper pouches are well sized for a wide range of small to medium sized tools where the lower pouches offer plenty of room to carry and access fasteners while build deep enough to carry more as needed.
I wish the 2 interior small loops toward the back of the bag were a bit smaller to accommodate longer bits, nut runner, 6" extension, etc. And the tape measure pocket could be a bit bigger tape (milwaukee) is a little tight but also falls out of the pouches when set down or in gang box( maybe a little leather latch of some sort could be added) i do really like the bag. Kind of wishing I kept the 3 tier bag
Akribis products and customer service have buy for exceeded any expectations I have had!!! Luke and his staff are absolutely amazing and worked with me to build the best product I could ask for! Thank you for your personal attention.
Had for about a month now and everything seems great. Stuff at first but is starting to loosen up.
🤘
The Best!!
Best of the best
By far the best pouch I’ve used. First couple days and it’s been amazing. The nail bar slot is just perfection
