Sewed in dyed old or new old bed sheets, in a linen and cotton mix. Top quality and very comfortable fabrics. Plenty of those bedsheets still in cupboards and cheaply available on the internet.

Love the contrasting elements and marvelous stitching. Touché
The corresponding reversible bucket hat. If anyone is interested by creating their own, I have developped a speadsheet to generate pattern measurement and I am happy to share it. Being a retired lawyer I do not have the coding skill required to create a design

No cartridges holder but Glasses / Pens Holders instead
Saharan shirts / safari jackets have a military origin and originals included a cartridges holder. Being a civilian and not a big game hunter 
, but wanting to stay close to the origin, I adopted the idea to more common uses.
- Very convenient for holding sun or corrective glasses
-
Very easy to sew with most machine having semi-automatic button holes
-
Slots for pen need the additional pocket below to ensure pens are not falling through.

I like the look of that hat! Would you be open to a collaboration for turning it into a FreeSewing design?
Hi Anna. Of course. Lets discuss it over Whatsapp (redacted by moderator). Anytime beetween 12am - 2pm.

This forum is public, and there were concerns you might not have realized that.
Tks Joost. No real issue but I appreciate your concern. I just need to see how to send the lady a private message.
