This is another 45cm/18 inch balearic that I braided today. It has bigger pouch than what I usually do(my pouches are usually 10cm/4 inches but this one is made for bigger ammo so it is 15cm/6 inches)

Cords, I'm too lazy to untwist the sisal twine just to twist it again while braiding.

This looks fantastic... and with cords?! I'm gonna have to learn how.. Ive got a heap of kevlar 1.2mm thick cord and really really want a balearic sling...

How do you add cords in at the pouch to ensure consistency of the pouch with the retention cord?

I dont even mesure my sling lenght. My short slings are finger to elbow, my edc slings are finger to shoulder (accurate but the range is good too) and my long slings are finger to the middle of my chest.
