Keep in mind a single stack of Wriggly's will just fall out. I'm going to make a single stack pouch later this week for myself, as I often just carry a pack of Wrigley's.

Thanks for looking.

Hubba Bubba is in chunks How will he get one or two chunks out of the bottom? Wrigly sticks make more sense.

Your Duty Belt must be getting very full!

Now, now,,, any resemblance to anything other than a bubble gum pouch is pure coincidental.

Would there possibly be a market for a Donut pouch?

As a matter of fact, the neighbor who got the Hubba Bubba pouch discussed a multi carry pouch large enough to hold donuts,,,

Here's a double stack Hubba Bubba pouch I finished today for a friend on the bomb squad.
Thanks for looking.

Nice job John . How did you finish the edges ?

The last two pouches were burnished using a drill press set-up with spinning wood dowel (adapted from a furniture leg) & wet by using water mixed with Saddle Soap until it is "soapy" consistency.

I'll get a few photos in a minute.

Here is the set-up I use to burnish the edges,,,,,,,,,,

Nice set up John. Really effective results on that wad holster..
