The outer shell is pig leather. The antler buttons are home made, this one is from the base of the anter. We used a hacksaw and a hand bow-drill to make the buttons.
Loaded with tobacco, tools and 2 pipes it still fits in my cargo shorts comfortably.

The goal was to use up scrap leather and practice with her new sewing awl, hence the different leather. All stitching was tied off on the back and glued down for extra durability
Each pocket and pouch flap edge has extra stitching for strength and durability.

The top pocket is for tools, like a match case, lighter, Czech tool, etc.
The middle pouch is designed for tobacco. The extra button allows the pouch to close when it's overstuffed :)
The bottom pouch holds up to 3 pipes.

Nice Work. I like the soft leather look on both.
Better keep that g/f around if she does things like that for you..... :)

@Bigmike - That's certainly the plan! :)
@ejames - Yes. The buck I got this fall had a broken antler, so they weren't really a good set for mounting, etc. So we used a hacksaw to cut off button sized pieces and a bowdrill to make the button holes. The big one is taken from the base of the antler, where it meets the skull.
And here's a pic with a hypothetical load out
