Waxed Cotton Ticking Haversack #153

This is another incredibly unique, completely handmade and handsewn with pure waxed linen thread, haversack. This haversack is made from heavy waxed cotton ticking and lined with linen fabric. I hand applied beeswax to the ticking to give the haversack some water resistance. The straps are made from 4-5oz veg tanned cowhide. The bag measures 11 1/4 inches wide at the middle and 15 inches from top to bottom when closed. The buckle strap measures 13 inches long, 1 3/16 inches wide, and features an aged solid brass buckle. The two piece long strap measures 52 inches long, 1 1/4 inches wide, and features 8 holes for adjustment. The bag features include, an aged pewter button, a bound main pocket edge, and a leather flap. I have given the bag a look of age and use. The straps and flap are black.
Everything has been done completely by hand. It has been cut, sewn with waxed linen thread, dyed, and finished by hand, no machines or assembly line methods used at all just to save time.
