Can I commission things in this forum?

I'm not interested, but

You just want an open top pocket?

What diameter and height?

How would it attach?

Thanks for the reply Jerry.

Basically yes. I'm looking for a to-spec, thus somewhat snug fitting, holster-type pocket with some sort of clipping hardware at the top to attach to the D-ring on the gorilla, and toward the bottom of the holster a horizontal sway-limiting attachment (probably a simple velcro strap which would secure the holster to the vertical sternum strap attachment part of the shoulder strap.

I plan to draw up a rough plan – I just don't have sewing talent or equipment.

Try Chris Zimmer of ZIMMERBUILT he does beautiful work and can make just about anything

Thanks – I'm familiar. I'm not rich (that said I'm not planning to try and get work done for a song either), but this is going to be kind of a peanuts job for someone like Zimmerbuilt, and aesthetics and finish are pretty much the last thing I care about so Zimmerbuilt quality is totally not necessary in this case.

Basically I was hoping to throw some bucks at someone on BPL instead of heading out to Etsy where I usually commission random sewing jobs like this.

If someone wants to make $20 (+ materials cost, + shipping costs) during the winter lull, that's what I'm looking for. Start to finish the whole deal would probably take 20-30 min.

Check out his accessories page from his site for the kind of stuff he makes for $12-$15, it wouldn't hurt to ask him he's very nice and doesn't bite, he is also very prompt to answer questions.

I'd also check out Luke at Luke's Ultralight.

There's also this that seems like it would work (choose the bottle pocket): http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=46&products_id=71

The zimmerbuilt bottle pocket is almost the same as the MLD one but cheaper and he could easily alter it if it was something similar to what you wanted but I understand if you don't want to use a professional and want to wait for another member willing to make one for you

Thanks all, those pockets actually look workable! Thanks a bunch I'm going to start with one of those and modify the connection hardware. It was the sewing I wasn't able to do well myself.

I'll throw out an entirely different design idea:

Put hook velcro around the bear spray. Put the loop velcro on your shoulder strap. You might need to play with it a bit to see if 4 square inches or 10 sq in was enough to hold it solidly yet release it somewhat easily (adrenaline will be flowing).

I do have a concern about a pocket made of very light material. The pocket won't be as stiff as the store-bought codura ones and that might require the pocket be a little looser for an easy withdrawal. And/or the bottom of the pocket could be secured to something stiffer (like the shoulder strap), again, because the pocket itself won't provide that stiffness and resulting easier withdrawal.

Along the lines of what Dave had to say…
I duct taped a line with a mitten hook on either end to my cannister and then clipped the mitten hooks to the shoulder strap. It ended up really secure, very light, and if it ever came down to Mitten Hooks vs. Me vs. Bear, I have zero doubt that I could pop those little suckers right off.

Good points all around, guys. Thanks a bunch.
