How many pairs of pants or belts have you messed up from your U-locks? I see many people around the city riding around with their locks squeezed into their back pockets or hanging in their belts. However, these methods of securing these heavy U's is not a good idea for either your belt or wardrobe. That's why I decided to try and replicate Fabric Horse's U-lock holster. Fabric horse uses selvaged seat belt material, but I have no time to scrounge up scrap seat belts from junk yards so that's why I use leather. Plus, I think it looks better.
The design of these things are really simple, but you probably won't be able to sew one of these things on your home sewing machine. You make fuck up the timing of you machine because you'll be sewing through four layers of leather at some points of the construction. I roll with a mini Bulldog U-lock and it works like magic. If your looking to buy one or know people who need one feel free to shoot me an email.
