The Pipe Possible Bag:
- POSSIBLES
- The personal property of the mountain man, Such items as a bullet mold, an
awl, knives, a tin cup, his buffalo robe or a blanket capote, his pipe and
tobacco, flint and steel, sometimes a small sheet-metal fry-pan, and other
accouterments he considered necessary. Firearms were considered
"pieces" or guns" and not possibles.
- POSSIBLES BAG
- The leather bag in which the mountain man carried his possibles.
everything from his pipe and tobacco to his patches and balls. What could
not be carried in the bag were hung on the bags shoulder strap. Shooting
needs were given first priority, kept where they could be found with ease
and speed.
I just finished a bag that I have wanted to make for some time. It's designed
after the American frontiersman "possibles" bag. I carried one hunting
for years and years.
It has no handle as it is made to be slung over your shoulder or across the
chest "bandolero" style. It's 12.5 inches long ny 9 inches high. It
has a pocket under the flap. The gusset is 5 inches so it will open and fill to
about 4.5 inches. There are four pipe pockets inside, each will hold 2 normal to
large sized pipes in their socks when placed bowl to stem. The rest of the bag
is unlined. There is no hand stitching in the bag.
Now the good part (I think), the bag is $285 which is pretty cheap for one of my
bags. I found this skin in the shop under some other skins "put away till
later" and decided it would be pretty perfect for this bag. It is. I'll
have three in a day or so as two others have already been cut. I'll only be able
to make them when the right skins show up but I love the design so I'll be
looking. I will do everything I can to keep the price of these bags low but this
will be entirely dependant upon the price of the leather I use so it will
fluctuate somewhat.
Figure the range to be $285 - $375 (depending on the skins)
If you want the bag customized I will gladly discuss it but changes will
raise the price accordingly.

This bag is $300.
The Archer PipeFolio:
I can't believe how popular this bag has been but I do understand it's appeal
and I'm very proud of the design. The concept for this piece was the inspiration
of my good friend Neill Roan. As a frequent flyer and heavy duty traveler Neill
has run into problems with the new airline baggage regulations and needed a pipe
bag that would carry 8 pipes with ample accessories and still fit comfortably
into his briefcase. After spending several months ruminating on the design here
it is, The Archer PipeFolio. If you'd like to read more about it in a review
please feel free to visit Neill's blog, "A Passion for Pipes".:
http://passionforpipes.squarespace.com/classic-blog-posts/the-archer-pipe-folio.html
The bag measures 12"x8"x2", the perfect size for a briefcase
or suitcase. It's very comfortable to carry under the arm as well.
All Archers come with a matching pipe cleaner holder.
Depending on the leather this bag retails for $375 - $500.
Available bags can be seen below but custom orders are always welcome.

The Hunter:
The Hunter is the newest design bag I have made. It was requested by a noted
collector of nosewarmers who wanted to be able to take a very small bag out for
a day in the field with him along with a couple small pipes and accoutrements.
Personally I have found the bag to work with more than nosewarmers as several of
my Danish pipes and old 30's Kaywoodies and other pipes fit very well. The bag
will hold pipes up to appx., 5" long. The Hunter is
6"x3.5"x3". Very compact. One of the pictures below shows the
comparison in size between the Hunter and the 2/4.
The Hunter shown below is $190.

a strap. If you want a bag with a shorter strap the bag I have waiting can be custom

Tan Unisex Pipe Bag - $340..
Note - Ordinarily, this bag would be on sale at $300, the reason for
the added discount is that crease you can see on the right front flap of the
bag. I really think that the crease will disappear over time but I can't
guarantee it. Once the bag is filled it's hardly noticeable..
Pipe Cleaner Pouches
I have a load of leather pipe cleaner holders all
in nice black pebble grain and snake design embossed cowhides as well as
some alligator looking cowhides and some nifty checkerboard ones. . They are $20 each,
2/$35.
The Walkabout Sock
Well as does sometimes happen I was asked to come up with something that
would hold what you see below. Tobacco, one or two pipes, a tamper, lighter and
maybe some cleaners, The gentleman wanted it to have a simple closure and be
small enough to stick in a jacket pocket. He ended up not wanting them but after
field testing them for a bit I discovered that I love mine so I made and
sold a whole bunch in Chicago. Here they are. The top picture shows the
current color availability. They're $45 each in cowhide. I'll have some in
stock soon that will be made from a lightweight bison which will be $55 each.

Leather Pipe Racks
The origins of these racks come with a small story. The brown ones were originally
shown to me about 2 1/2 years ago. They were made by a well know luminary of the
pipe world back in the 60's when leather work was all the rave. I think the
original design must have come from one of the numerous and now long defunct
leather crafting and hobbyist magazines of the time, from a time when both pipe
smoking and the use of leather were not a political issue. Anyway, about a month
ago the brown ones were shipped to be for refurbishment as after about 50 years,
the leather straps were showing serious signs of aging. Anyway with the original
owners happy permission I have recreated the racks for sale. A pair of these
runs $250. They each hold eight pipes and can be made as right or left stem
leaning racks and should be available in an assortment of colors. They are about
5 1/2" wide and 36 inches long. The brown racks shown below are for
illustration only and are not for sale.
The racks listed below are available directly from me.

The Doctor's 6/12 Pipe Bag:
This bag is my newest designed pipe bag styled after the doctor's bags we all
remember as children. The bag measures 12' x 9.5' x 5'. The top bag below
is black bison on the outside and buckskin within. The brown bottom bag has a cowhide
exterior and buckskin lining. The
interiors are designed with 6 pipe pockets that are designed to hold two pipes each
in their pipe socks when placed bowl to stem and a large open space in the
center for tobacco and accessories (or more pipes). There are pictures below
that show the bag's interior empty and full as well as a picture showing the bag
closed and full (sided by side with the full interior picture). The centered
picture shows everything that is in the full bag. While these bags will normally
be made with a matching shoulder strap, the black bison bag shown below does not
have one. If you are interested in this bag with a shoulder strap I can get some
bison and make the strap, just let me know. The bison bags with the strap
will normally be $550. Both have been sold. Shipping in the US is included in
the pricing.
