yober Report post Posted November 10 I’ve been asked to reproduce this vintage A.L. Clay holster and I’d like to reproduce this lacing in the pics as closely as possible. I’m at a loss to identify the type — it doesn’t feel like rawhide as it’s softer. I can’t seem to find anybody that makes this width, the maximum being 1/4” kangaroo so far from the usual suppliers. Anybody have any thoughts? Do I have to resort to making my own lace, or is there some source I’m not finding? Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieselTech Report post Posted November 10 I'm thinking it looks like natural kangaroo lace. Is that lace 3/8" wide? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieselTech Report post Posted November 10 I'm not sure where you are located. But look up "Y-KNOT LACE" They should have your lace.. They might even positively know what lace that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yober Report post Posted November 10 (edited) It looks at least that wide, maybe more. Looked at Y-not. They only have one size and it’s skinny. Edited November 10 by yober Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They got lace up to a 1/2" wide. I was on their site. Their kangaroo I know goes to 3/8" it's $44 for 12yards Edited November 10 by DieselTech Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yober Report post Posted November 11 If there was 1/2” lace, I couldn’t find it. Have a link? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yober Report post Posted November 11 Did that. I don’t see 1/2” in these options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they can make it or source it. Have you measured the lace on that holster? To me it sure looks like 3/8" Edited November 11 by DieselTech Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
