Thanks guys for the replies. I have a "Trajan column" loculus, but really, the million stitches don't seem to be essential to the function of a shoulder bag. If the bag is soft deer or goatskin, and the strips are heavier leather, it makes sense, otherwise, it's just a lot of extra trouble to make. At least that's the view from here. I actually made mine from 2-3 oz (2mm) veg tanned cowhide, and after oiling, it is very soft, but still holds its shape.
I think I'll make one of these Comacchio bags, or a minor variation of it, next. A shoulder bag is always a good idea. And a buckle strap is a good idea, too, in case you choose to hang it on a furca and don't want the strap to dangle too much.
(Hmm. If you made a furca from Fir wood, would it be a Firca??)
