One thing I didn't mention previously is my adherence to that old saying: a place for everything and everything in its place. My initial thought was that it would be good to keep the things originally mentioned in a pouch, and that would be their place. I can now see that my thinking wasn't entirely sound.
My typical EDC is absolutely stuffed if I have to wear basic boring jeans or something.
My longtime favorite jeans have been discontinued, and jeans typically only have one or two pockets in which I'd be willing to place a knife or a multi. Unless tactical pants look too "militant" and khakis too dressy, I couldn't go back to jeans!
This is why you find some tactical jeans, or in my case a pair of relaxed casual chino-type trousers with lots of discrete pockets! Pentagon, Helikon-Tex, Condor, Proper and First Tactical are all lower-mid range brands (in terms of both price and quality) who make pretty decent 'casual' look kit.
Yeah I think the Greyman jeans from Helikon-Tex would probably suit Farmer's needs nicely
Since it wasn't in stock, I bought a Maxpedition and a Viperade. While I think I would like the Leatherman pouch better, I can't see how I can justify buying it at this time.
I didn't see that the Leatherman pouch has belt loops. It says it can hang from snap clips, but that's not really the same thing as having belt loops or MOLLE attachments that goes directly on your belt.
Wouldn't a pouch comparison thread look so good in your signature?
It would! But it wouldn't impress my wife very much (Image removed from quote.)
Thanks to the generosity of Alan K, I now have a pouch to try out! Neither he nor I could find any identifying marks on it, but it looks pretty well suitable for use on a camping trip. It may awlso get put through the rigors of urban carry. I'll enjoy putting it through its paces! [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Looks like a good size to slip into a pocket. How thick is it when fully loaded?
Aren't we all? I've seen some great little pouches from a variety of makers and price points. I have enjoyed my Maxpedition Micro quite a lot. I have 2, one in black and one in khaki. I dont put them in my pocket tho. I clip them to my belt because no matter how little I put in them they ( for me ) are still too bulky. There are quite a few great little pouches including the one shown above. Its so hard to determine how it'll work till you get one. At least thats how it works for me. Skinth is nice, but if I'm going to put something on my belt I wanted a little more space which completely defeats the idea of a skinth.
You still looking for that perfect pouch?JR
Aren't we all?
