Billykirk U-Lock Holster

I've been a fan of Billykirk for a while now. They put out some really outstanding handmade leather bags and accessories (with a price tag to match).
I saw over at Selectism yesterday that they are getting ready to release a classy u-lock holster/pouch.



It looks really sharp. Their attention to detail in construction methods is always outstanding. It's not listed for sale on their site just yet, but watch for a release this spring. It will be produced in black, brown, and natural. Expect a price tag well into the triple digits. I bet it'd look great with one of Trackos new denim workman's hats!

In the mean time, if you have a bespoke artisanal itch that you just need to scratch*, you can head over and pick up one of their frame bags:


*just to be clear- this was sarcasm

  1. i like the design, but for a hip pouch i wonder if it will be flexible enough to fit odd-shaped things. i hope they have a good return policy if it doesn't work out for someone.

  2. Yeah, looks like it could be iffy. Definitely form over function. Looks great though!

  4. last night my lock slipped out of my belt and slid down a slushy street of chicago and as i put the filthy cold wet lock back down my pants I thought this holster might be a good idea.
