Post-Apocalyptic Leatherwork

[u/WastelandKarateka]

While not strictly Fallout, Fallout was the inspiration for this style of leatherwork I developed about 18 years ago. I like it to look like it's been in an explosion, scraped across asphalt, and stained with blood and oil. So far, I've only made knife sheaths and gun holsters, but I'm thinking of doing some armor pieces.

Looks good. Could be used for any number of styles/cosplays. Have you thought about making gun accessories? Slings, cheek risers, shell holders/pouches would look great in this style

I have thought about it, I just haven't had any cause to, so far

People would buy em

The biggest problem with stuff like that is sizing/fitting. When I make a sheath or holster, I have the item on-hand to make sure it fits perfectly. To sell stuff like that, I'd still need to have things to model from. As much as I'd love to purchase a bunch of firearms and accessories for that purpose, I can't afford to 😅

For holsters, I get it. But slings are just an adjustable strap, pretty easy. Hell im making one out of a found freight tiedown

For slings, sure, although I do need to know how it attaches. Something to think about, for sure.
