Historical Use of Belt Pouches

For centuries, belt pouches and bags were an absolutely essential part of attire. From ancient times through the Middle Ages and into the modern era, they were worn by men and women across all social classes – travellers, artisans, merchants, soldiers, and common folk alike. In times when clothing lacked pockets, they were used to carry everything necessary: coins, tinderboxes, small tools, personal amulets, or even herbs.

An Interesting Historical Fact

Did you know that even the famous Ötzi the Iceman, who lived over 5,000 years ago, carried a belt pouch? It contained various tools and survival items, demonstrating just how ancient and useful this accessory is.

How to Use the Pouch Today

This pouch is the ideal accessory for historical costumes, LARP characters, fantasy outfits, or visits to medieval fairs and Renaissance festivals. However, it's also perfectly suited for everyday wear – if you want to keep your hands and pockets free, you can securely store your keys, mobile phone, wallet, or other small items inside. It's also a great companion for festivals, concerts, or hikes in the countryside.

Care and Storage

To ensure your leather pouch lasts as long as possible:

1. Protect from Water: Avoid unnecessarily exposing the pouch to rain and moisture. If it does get wet, wipe it with a cloth and let it air dry naturally at room temperature (not on a radiator!).
2. Cleaning: Remove dirt with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialist leather cleaner.
3. Conditioning: Occasionally (about 1-2 times a year or as needed), treat the leather with a conditioner, balm, or wax to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
4. Storage: When not in use, store the pouch in a dry, ventilated place, ideally in a breathable bag (e.g., a cloth pouch) to allow the leather to breathe.
