Thanks very much. I can't lay claim to the Schofield. That belongs to the guy who had me make the rig. My Schofield is nickel plated. I reallly like the color case finish on his frame.
Thanks for the compliments. I had to make the pattern myself as well since I could not find anything close to what I was looking for. After staring at pictures of old chaps for a couple of hours, I finally came up with the pattern.
Thanks for mentioning that one. I saw someone use that border a few years ago and I use it every once in a while myself. Not new at all, just been a while since someone has brought it up.
I was just visiting Springfield Leather about a month ago. I picked up some chap leather for a pair of shotguns that I just finished. They had one that I really liked (Old Town??) but it was way too heavy for me to use on the shotguns. You might want to give them a shot.
