Vegetable Tanned Leather for Sheath, 20 x 25 cm (mahogany colour)
Vegetable tanned shoulder leather, approx 3 mm thick from Italy. Dyed a rich, deep red-brown mahogany colour.
These pieces are cut into 20 x 25 cm (minimum) size and will be enough for one or maybe 2 small sheaths.

Then punch holes with an awl (or drill holes) and sow the sheath together before cutting off the excess leather and dying it.
The belt loop is either attached from a separate strip, or made as part of the sheath and folded back behind the sheath and sown on.
This example is using half-tanned leather but the process is the same:
