Am I the only one, or are any of you missing the leather hammer loops on the old apron style tool belts? I don’t do a lot of new construction so I’m in houses with trim and paint and all of that nice stuff that metal hammer loops like to smash into. I looked into the Occidentals but their “no-spill” system couldn’t hold my old handy andy tools much less a decent size utility knife or vice grips and screwdrivers and pliers.
