NO NONSENSE PASSPORT POUCH
Made this simple looking pouch for a friend. He being a pro in the finance business the
selection of colours had to be quite businesslike. Stylish, but not stylish. And the travelling and
moving around required would mean that the pouch needs to be very robust and possessing
the ability to take many a rough ride in its stride.
In a business situation one really cannot go wrong with
chestnut and tan. The leathers are quite thick and of firm temper. Strong nylon
thread is designed to give not just more than required strength but also to
enhance the look and feel. The stitching would also be required to reflect
strict professionalism, a rather grim requirement of the finance business. On a
darkish chestnut background the stitches do stand out, yet they do not hog the
limelight.
The long and full strip used for closing is meant to suggest
a no-nonsense approach to getting the work done. Nothing fancy or stylish here.
Consistent and businesslike.
The width is enough to take in a bunch of three passports
and the closer is designed to hold them securely enough for a regular kind of
rough and tumble.
I do not expect the softening process of the leather to
cause much change in the functionality of the pouch. The basic thickness and
temper of the leather as well as the length of the closing flap is designed to
take care of this inevitable eventuality.
Here’s wishing many happy journeys and adventures to this
dour yet functional pouch.
