This is a video tutorial that will walk you through the process of making a steampunk leather bandolier. The chest belt contains three pockets and one big pouch, which are all detachable and can be used separately on a belt or any similar strap on a backpack.

It is lightweight and roomy. I made it in two colors, but it is up to you how you combine the leather. I used Latigo leather, but it works very well also with vegetable tanned leather.
