What do you guys recommend? I have used the leather one, from Baileys for years. Never had a problem. Just wondering if there is another I should try... Thanks!

Let me see if I read this right, you own one that has paid for itself, and never had any issues with it, and you want to try another?
I am confused

The one I have is about wore out. I was only asking if there is another brand or something I might want to try. Thanks for the help...

I got the ABH007 Multi Pocket Nylon Wedge Holster ($10) from Baileys.
It's sewn poorly. The nylon material is cheap/flimsy and has no support for holding longer tools (ie stiffer material would be better).
The loop that your belt goes thru isn't adjustable and I had to remove the buckle on my Labonville's to get it to thread on because the loop is too small to just put the buckle/belt thru.
IMHO it's not worth $3 much less three times that.
I don't know which one to recommend, but I do know one not to recommend.
I'd like to find one from stiffer leather or cordura that would actually have some structure to it, hold a few 8's/10" wedges and a scrench. May have to make one.

Check Lowe's--I bought a single pouch about wedge-width (holds two, might hold three), has two or three skinny little pockets on outside for carb screwdriver, and a loop that might keep a scrench--about 6" deep made from cordura. Haven't really put it to the test yet, but looks promising.
I found a nylon framer's belt in the woods awhile ago with two big nail pouches on it. The first one is still serving me well, the second is in reserve for when the first wears out. Holds 3 wedges easily and didn't cost a cent.

Bailey's leather pouch is garbage. I think it is made in Communist China. Bailey's is a great company but both their nylon pouch and their leather pouch are terrible products.
You might try Cowlitz River Rigging or Madsen's. CRR has interesting looking pouches. Grissly Peak has aluminum pouches. I really like GP's ax scabbard and file holder. I also have their wedge belt and suspenders.

I got mine at Madsens and I like it had it about 8 years throw some oil on it once in awhile.
I picked up an army surplus belt/fanny pack that had 3 zip up pouches made of heavy canvas attached to a nylon web belt , I can shove a 10" and two 5" in the big pouch ,other supplies in the spare pockets and I shove another 10" in my axe scabbard to keep my axe from rattling .
I did use a heavy leather nail pouch for a while but it does fill with wood debris faster .
This works for me in the type of cutting I do , your mileage may vary .

The shop ordered me this one, not sure where they got it, but it was cheap and works well. The spot the tape is on didn't work for me, too low. Other than that, I like it. Don't really even notice it - Hope you all had a good week, enjoy the weekend - Sam

that looks like the smae as my one from bailey's it worked for many years, I patched it with leather once the outside bottom edge wore out, and used it some more. I replaced before it was totally shot so it could be used again for 2 months or so in a pich. Agreed, the tape goes straight on the belt. My latest is alo leather, comed from Madsen's, its good too, wouldn't really say better or worse, it works, but I haven't chased cows around my whole life when not cutting massive goosepen OG like 2dogs so maybe I just don't know as much about cowhide.

Maybe you got a dud, but I used the nylon pouch for a whole year falling hazard trees. No problems with the seams, putting the belt through the loop, etc.

Last I knew, Bob's can make you whatever you want. . . Besides what they have listed. Their leather work is pretty dang tight, and pretty good prices.
Word tell was, you could make a drawing and send/email it to them with dimensions, and they'd make it up for ya.
Or send them a posterboard template. . .

I lived in a set of bags for many years, and it's easy to separate the wheat from the chaff pretty dang quick.

+1, my cheapo BucketBoss cordura bags have been used for all of 2 months and are already starting to get that fuzzy knap at the corners

Remind me to show you my Occidental Cordura's sometime. . . Held together with subfloor adhesive, wire and caulk!
They've served me well for many years though.
IMHO, nothing beats good leather bags, and the only reason I went with fabric, was they were cheaper at the time.
No reason to bust out 2 hundy on new leather bags now, with the building industry in the dumps.

Hahaha, nice, that sounds like my Dad's bags, sewn together with 16 ga. tie wire
I work with a guy who has the Occidental Leather with the leather spenders, he said they were spendy as hell
I know damn well that when one of the bag bottoms finally goes out it's gonna be over concrete and it's not gonna be when i put a handfull of 16 dupes in there, it's going to be the laser plum
