High Quality Leather Goods

[etsonaut]

I recently placed an order for a culling belt, two ammo pouches and a leather sling pack from Tredouxtrading.com. I have to say that Nadia was incredibly responsive and the turnaround time from order to receipt was surprisingly quick. A+ on the level of service and communication.. As for the products, I received them Monday and they illustrate incredible craftsmanship. Jacques does very fine work. I would highly recommend them!

Looks great

I ordered one as well in .275. It is a well made product. However, I wish I had noticed that the ammo loops were on the left. I personally find that very awkward in the field. Whether bolt gun or double, I much prefer to simply drop my right hand for a reload rather than reach across my body. The leather is also extremely stiff. Murray builds its rig (which I have used for .375 class rounds for nearly two decades) with loops on the right and from a much more pliable leather. I presume one could request a right side model from Tredoux.

Anybody have any tips on where to land the old green radar hunting belts?

I can't speak for them but I would be surprised if they wouldn't try to accommodate that request.

That travel bag look very nice, I love a good leather bag, by most do not reinforce the shoulder strap connection points.

It is one of the nicest I've seen. One other US (Tennessee) based leather company is called Colonel Littleton. Not hunting related but definitely some of the finest leather work you will find.

I’ve been very happy with the Murray Leather cartridge belt with leather loops that I’ve used for the past couple of years. We also have a couple of leather slings from him. All top quality stuff.

Whatever size belt you ordered, did it fit you the way you wanted it to? Are sizes on website accurate or is there a lot of variation in actual size?

My belt fits fine. I ordered based on their measuring directions and it’s good. But, if it had been off a bit, there is a significant amount of adjustability built into the design.

I looked those too. They look very practical. I guess I ended up going with Tredoux because of the sling pack. I just ordered everything at once.

If ordering from Jaques Tredoux I suggest requesting the leather he uses to line the inside of belts to be put on the outside also. And/Or ask that he makes the entire belt from the leather he uses to line belt with.

It’s more supply, flexible and not as stiff. If you want it very stiff don’t change his design.

I've seen people turn the belt around to put the buckle at their back. I'm not sure of the primary reason for it, but possibly to keep the buckle from getting snagged on the rifle somehow? In any case, this would put the cartridges on your right hand side for an easier reload.

I'm a big fan of Murray's stuff. I got a belt that I used for both my 7mm and 375 and it worked great, the quality is amazing. Then, I'd forgotten to get a sling for my 375 and called him the week before I was leaving and he looked and he had one ready to go. We're close enough I got it UPS is one day. The personal and very responsive service was top notch.

Then, I've got it out as I was packing stuff up - and we're dog sitting my daughter's lab - and my attention was diverted for one minute and she'd gotten it and was chewing it! Damn! Not happy! Well, while chewed pretty badly at the top it appeared a big enough piece was in tact so I took it and used it and it did fine. When I got back I emailed Murray and he said they could repair or replace. It came back like new, so happy with that place! Their stuff is beautiful, that sling is like a work of art.

I have heard lots of great things about Murray..
