    Snap?

    Frequent pulling the leather snap causes the hole for the snap to elongate . after a period the snap comes through the leather I am referring to multiple times per day . Not 1 time a day type use

  8. I work with a lot of Military Surplus that is canvas and leather. Some of the old leather is in pretty bad shape when I get it This is what I do. And I do not know if it is the ''correct'' procedure. But works for me 1] clean. 1 part vinegar 3 parts water, clean salt stains and dirt 2] rehydrate rub neetsfoot into the leather, let it sit over night, reapply. repeat till leather is soft 3] Protection. rub mink oil into the hide, let it sit for 20 minutes then rub off 4] Wax. I wax the leather with Kiwi wax. I do not use any other Brand This is a shoulder holster that was given to me. He wanted to toss it in the trash because it was so dry I did the above steps, and use it

  20. I usually use Springfield leather i can get a 7oz veg tan double shoulder for $45.00 from them as opposed to 75-90 from other places. price matters and shipping is a deal breaker I am having Springfield send me 3- goat hides 7 sq ft each the shipping on that is only 9 bucks I hate it. it will cut there throat.
  21. I just sent an email to tandy and told them to pound sand they changed the price of shipping to a straight $12.00 charge on all sales under $100.00 I was not aware of this and had a pattern in my cart. on check out. up pops $12.00 for shipping an envelope a $0.50 stamp would take care of? I deleted my order and sent them a grumpy email went over to the Steckstore bought the same exact same thing and was charged $2.00 shipping
