Medieval people didn’t have pockets in their clothing so they wore belt pouches often called at the time pockets and used them to carry all their daily essentials. Whether you are a living history purist or you like to carry your car keys, mobile phone and some loose change, these will suit.
Based a composite of examples from the amazing book 'Purses in Pieces' by Olaf Goubitz.

Width of pouch (open) 15cm/6 inches
Will suit belts up to 6cm/2.5 inches wide
