The 2025 Isle of Man annual Tynwald parade saw the appearance of a newly made buff leather fireman's axe carrier.
Made by request to replicate an existing pattern of carrier already in use by an Isle of Man fireman.
Not the typical design seen on the belts of British firemen over the last century or so - more European in origin.
Constructed using some genuine Bandsmans Buff from the no longer trading Clayton tannery.
All handsewn, with chrome finished snap fasteners.
