Having sewn leather accoutrements for other time periods of reenacting, making a set years ago was no bother.

I would recommend the thin leather - 2-3oz - as said above, but I would also recommend treating it with a liberal dose of Neetsfoot oil or shoe dobbin for waterproofing work boots.

It will darken the leather, but really not a factor for a carrier, eh? But it will help preserve the thin leather from rotting and cracking.

Chees,
Jim
