I live 2 1/2 hours south of Springfield Leather. I was looking for a 5/6 oz tooling side. I asked, was taken to the back, and shown several versions. I found nothing I was willing to pay for. "Horrible" selection/quality. This week my wife and I found ourselves in Oklahoma City. Discovered Traditions Leathercraft. Great selection! KC Kreger is the owner...worth checking out.
I just finished this "cross the body" type man bag for a trip to London in a couple of months. My pattern, somewhat styled after a motorcycle saddle bag. Hand and machine sewn.
Funny story, I made and used a phone holster like this several years ago. Went into a building, security guy stopped me and had me turn around... He goes "Oh its a phone holder, I thought you had a pistol" We both laughed about it....
