Ever since I heard about the Thunderbird insert for Zippos that has a standard flame but runs off butane, I've been carrying one in a casing given to me by a respected friend.I have others I swap out for different occasions, I typically have one on me either in my cargo shorts or in my jeans change pocket. I don't smoke, but on a college campus and clubbing it makes a lot of friends The problem, my EDC is shifting around, I'm going to need my small change pocket for something else. I'm looking for a belt pouch for my Zippo that has the following criteria.
-No loud velcro.
-Does not look like an ammo pouch or MOLLE compatible.
-Looks good whether I'm in old jeans in class or dressed up for the clubs.
-Does not scratch the finish of the lighters.
-As non-bulky as possible, I would like it to clearly be a lighter case and not a bat-belt container.
-Secure, solid loop.
-Looks 'college', not 'redneck'. I already have a mullet and have to shake off my natural accent.

Are there any stock pouches being sold that fit this listing, or does anyone know of a cheaper custom maker that can hook me up?
 
would this work?

I lined the front so that the snap backing wouldn't scratch the lighter.
 
Certainly seems solid...Any personalization options? I'm turning 21 in two hours, may treat myself a bit.
 
Not really... not enough room and I don't do tooling. This is the only one I got and I made it on accident. How about you send me $5 for shipping and I'll give it to you for your 21. I'll be drinking one with you!
 
Charlie Mike, the first thing I thought of was that pouch you made. I think it fits the bill perfectly.
 
My new friend, you're one of a kind. PM me your info, we have a deal.

Looks like your not set up for PMs. Hit me up at DELETED EMAIL ADDRESS

County Comm has some nylon Zippo holsters that are MOLLE compatible in case you want to run a tactical Zippo on your web gear :)
 
I imagine it will ship today... ok... maybe tomorrow

Dear Pussies, the Zippo goes in your pocket along with the pocket knife and pocket change. Don't get precious about it.
 
Hard to do that when your lighter weighs a 1/2 pound. (that's like carrying a 2nd nutsack around)

Nice sheath too!
:thumbup:
Found the guys website but he doesn't currently have any lighters there or at his ebay store (maybe hes on vacation?).
I'm interested in one but whats the price range on those lighters? A ballpark figure would be fine. So........$50-$100? Less, more?
Thanks!
 
Usually between 50-100 but I don't think he's currently making em. Glad I got one tho!
 
Shipped today!
