I built this pouch after the Jessie McGlemary pouch in Jim Webb's excellent book "Sketches of Hunting Pouches, Powder Horns & Accoutrements of Southern Appalachia" Jessie & his brothers came from Ulster northern Ireland to settle in Rutherford Co. N.C. & this pouch is mostly laced together & I used hemp twine instead of leather lacing like the original, it has 6 rows of fringe on the front body of the bag & I put a small pouch on the inside that buttons shut to carry small items like flints or cleaning jags. The strap is in the same colors as the original & is woven out of wool by the talented Susan Wallace from Silver Shuttle in Memphis, TN.
