I saw some Jedi Pouches on Ebay but they'er pricey. I copied the images to I can eyeball it to see how they'er costructed. I think it'll be cheaper to make my own then buy them. 90$ for 3 pouches YIKES. That's robbery.

I went to a saddle and horse supply store and bought 2 sqare feet of brown leather. I made my own pouches for under $10. I have a set of one large and two smaller ones.

I took the plastic chemical agent decontamination kits from a U S Army M17A1 protective mask carrier. (check surplus stores) I hand stitched the pouch then slid them over the plastic kits for the smaller ones.

 

Ammo pouches off of ebay will work too. Their size can be deceiving. Most WW2 pouches are for rifle rounds and average between 3 to 5 inches in height and 2 to 4 inches in width and and expand to about 1 to 2 inches in thickness. Many of the stuff seen in SW is modified props from WW2 films.

Ebay surplus can be relatively cheep. The leather is still good and the brass catches just need some polishing.

 

I have two sets of WWII ammo pouches, dyed dark brown, that I once used as Jedi pouches. Let me know if you're interested.

 

Padawan519,

Sounds like a good Idea w/ the WWII pouches. To the jedi who said he had some? Do Jedi have the pouches dyed to match the belt? Or even if you've a black belt, the pouches are always brown? Were you going to sell yours, if so how come?
I'm inbterested in them. Maybe you can send a Pic of them so I can how they'er put together. is that cool?

WW2 pouches come in various colors depending on the country. Italy produced a green leather pouch. The Germans had various colors like brown, dk brown, and black. Just search ebay for ammo pouch, ammo puches, leather pouch, and leather pouches. They will run between 2.00 and 20.00. Depending on the age and condition of the leather, they don't always take dye evenly. It's usually better to get a set that is the appropriate color.

 

Sounds like a good idea.
WWII pouches seem to have the right look and dimensions. Now the question I have is, are all Jedi pouches brown? Should they match the belt, or is brown "Standard issue color"? Or like the clothing, pouch style and color is up to the individual's preferance?
Please forgive all the questions. I'm learning and this is the only way I can learn.

For Jedi belts, the ammo pouches would be great. I bought several pouches, myself, thinking I could use them as sandtrooper pouches. I was disapointed to find out that they were smaller then what I thought. None of them are big enough to hold my wallet and car keys. Keys, yes. Wallet, no. Like I said, though - for a Jedi belt, they are the perfect size.
The leather can be dyed to whatever color you want (within reason), but I'd say it's up to the Jedi as to what color they and the belt are. Sometimes it's good to be different.

 

Thanks Motman,
I talked w/ someone about the resin, and he said they were pretty heavy. Both of us agreed,a resin set of ouches isn't a good idea, too heavy,some don't open, and if you fall on 'em, it'd going to leave a mark on you you'er not going to like.

At least leather can bend w/ you. Now whyen idye them what do I use to "set" the dye so it doesn't bleed onto my clothing?

Upped for recent inquiry.

 

Ebay has some different WW2 leather ammo pouches up right now. Just do a search for those. It used to be a lot easier finding leather ammo pouches at online military surplus stores a few years ago. I think all the costumers have been snapping them up!


I have a sort of eclectic collection of pouches now. My brown Jedi set consists of a set of WW2 French double ammo pouches, a shot gun shell pouch that I bought at K-Mart back in 1980, and a custom one that I made with a business card pocket. (and yes, they are all slightly different colors, dyed at different times, to match the 3 different Jedi belts I have made over the years)

Then my black set for Sith or Smuggler is another set of the French ammo pouches, a German ammo pouch and another custom pouch I modeled off the shot gun shell pouch.

Couldn't resist showing off my pouches!

 

I can connect folks with a pouch/belt maker. PM if interested.
