  1. Call Matt at Wickett and Craig. tell him what you are wanting and he'll steer you in the right direction. I use their #1 grade holster siding in 7/8 oz for the front and 8/9 for the back. couldn't be happier with the quality every single time Tony
  2. no dye used Ed. I get my leather already dyed from Wickett and Craig. that is just plain oiled russet. the thread is actually just regular brown from lynhanal. I think the light gives it a gold look in that picture. Tony
  3. thanks for the kind remarks everyone. I just love working with leather!
  4. it feels kind of stiff at first but softens up after a few hours of wearing. Tony
  5. I just use 4/5 ounce for my straps on the shoulder holsters. I use veg tanned Wickett and Craig. Tony
  6. been so busy making holsters that I haven't had time to get online to post anything in a while. here are a few of my latest.
