Hunt sandwich case design considerations

[Keith_Beef]

So, continuing on from a thread I started quite a while ago, I'm thinking more about the design of this case.

My idea is to make it in such a way that it can be attached either off-side or near-side, either in front or behind the rider, and also be used when walking, either attached to a waist belt or to a shoulder strap.

Current ideas are:
a couple of leather "loops" on the back, so as to be able to pass a belt of strap through them.
Two D rings along the top and two more on each vertical side

For the closure, I'm hesitating between several options.

• Sam Browne screw stud either
  • on the case front fastening with a hole in a billet sewn to the case cover, or
  • on the case front with a hole directly in the case cover, or
  • on the case cover, fastening with a hole in a billet sewn to the case front
• Small buckle on the case front with a billet sewn to the case cover
• Tuc lock
• Turnbutton
• Press-stud
• Bridge (not sure if this is the correct term, it's a "pontet" in French)

I've seen sandwich cases, as well as other kinds of bag, pouch and case, using all the above types of fastener.

Any preference, or experience with any of these fasteners on a sandwich case?

Turnbutton for choice, certainly not a buckle.

Great idea, but then I'm a gourmand!

I would say go large, plenty of room for proper snacks. Who was that Surtees character who wore a canteen on his back?
