MoD brass cantle re-bagging

[Troglodyte]

Beautiful workmanship. If I didn't have two already then I'd definitely be first in the queue.

Coming from a man with such impeccable and discerning taste as you, that's just about the highest praise I could get..!

Thanks..!

But have you considered this - as these old brass cantles are easy-off, there's no reason not to have a selection of bags in different styles, colours, finishes, etc, so you could swap and change as your mood and fancy demands.

The bags are easy enough to make, and my model is slightly deeper and fuller that the army-issue original - ie, with a wider gusset and slightly larger silhouette so as to be more practical in a carrying capacity sense.

Perhaps I should make a couple and have them readily available...
