I know kind of an old post but will these be nice and sturdy? Like when you buy other regular leather pouches and stuff? Thinking of making me a large black pouch for my Sith costume now after seeing this =]
These won't be as sturdy as say a leather pouch sewn together with waxed thread but it should hold up rather well. Probably depends on how heavy you decide to load the pouch. All the joints of the foam can be reinforced with more glue for more stability (after all, the foam is the core of the pouch, the leather is just decoration really.) Super glue seeps into foam and there is really no chance of it coming apart, the foam will rip long before the actual glue gives way.
