Thanks. The leather is Hermann Oak 8oz to be like what the 19th century called bridle leather. The holster is closer to 9oz.

Pretty work!  I am curious what you mean by "to be like what the 19th Century called bridle leather."   Different than modern bridle leather?

Well, in the old books the bridle leather back then seems to be about 7-8 oz. Most holster work done now tends to be a heavier leather.
