Is there a way to make the (any) quiver easily convertible to a belt quiver when cloak is needed for better cover.
Any back quiver can have the main strap run through a belt easily. It won't necessarily hang right, and it may swing around a lot, but it could work. It would take almost zero effort to just stitch a single belt loop to the backside/underside of a back quiver, hidden out of the way, for just such an occasion. But, like I mentioned earlier, when I need to use my cloak, I just undo the secondary strap, and half of it can be pulled alll the way around to my opposite shoulder, or draped around me for cover etc. It just allows my quiver to slip down on my back where I have to try harder to reach nocks, which is a big problem in my book.
Alright, on to further updates:
Here's the quiver seen at the start of the thread with my now signature luggage straps, plus some additional borders stitched on. It will be a darker brown after I oil it to help waterproof it, just like my needs wallet and bracers, and I'll be burning in some simple borders and maybe a few runes on it just to personalize it a bit more. The arrow sock is not two colors like it appears...the top used to fold over itself before I stitched it as a drawstring, so the bottom majority has faded a few minor shades of grey, but the flash made it straight up brown, which bugged me. Once I get hold of the sheepskins Pete was gracious to provide me with, I'll be making a few new ones, so I can have a spare, can redesign the broadhead cup at the base, etc.
Anywho, here it is, front and back, in summer kit. This is all linen+leather+canvas; no wool apart from the bedroll. Bedroll is wool blanket wrapped in heavy canvas groundcloth. I'll get some additional pics in the coming month or so in full winter kit, and not in my apartment. For now, this'll do.
