I am making utility belts from industrial grade Filson's material. Tin cloth's thick canvases and maybe some leather in the mix.
My question is, what would YOU GUYS want to see on a utlity belt? What kind of pouches, pockets, zippered sotrage compartments and such? Has anyone ever wanted a utility belt? I have based some off of military design, but have greatly improved the functionality of some of the components. What would you think would be convenient? What would you carry in it? What do you find too bulky or too small? Your input will be greatly appreciated and be put towards my next utility belt.
Thoughts and discussion include:
Buckle/clasp mechanism
Patterns of potential components (even rough drafts sketched on napkins
)
Preferred fabrics (what do you think would be the most logical?)
Interchangeable parts/components (ideas, thoughts, alternatives etc)
Versatility and universal compatability
Alice clip/MOLLE accesory compatability (perhaps optional interchangable components?)
For those of you who reply and offer constructive criticism, you will be put into a raffle to receive one of these utility belts free of cost! I'll even pay the postmaster to ship it I ship to Europe, Australia and North America only. As South America is pretty rough with corruption and most of asia being a burden to ship to. With all of this being said, all of the folks who reply with actual advice, suggestions, and opinion, you will be added to a list which will be randomized and one person will be selected.
Any and all mentions, small talk, suggestions, educated guesses, and potential design changing ideas would be great and are VERY valued to me.
