These belt wallets are made from vegetable tanned calf and goat skins that have been dyed using period dyes and they are made entirely by hand. The design is based on a number of 16th and 17th century illustrations and is a common design in that period. The side gussets are 1 1/2 inches wide and give these pouches extra room inside. The more decorative versions have tooled designs on the front flap and a bound edge. They can also have a useful extra front pocket held closed with it's own drawstring.

They measure 8 inches wide and 7 inches long (20 x 18 cm).
