My take on the Alessi PCH IWB

[Stetson912]

This is an interesting one for me. A unique design I haven't seen before and therefore had to figure out. Lou alessi designed this to be made from one piece of leather. It utilizes an 's' curve that creates an arch along the slide side. This keeps the mouth open and prevents collapse. Really a genius design, and one you seldom see.

Very nice work-worthy of 'Uncle Lou's' design.

Thanks, it's a fun little thing to make too. It does use a lot of leather though. Rather, with it being one piece it requires a larger piece. But, if you make the loops separate and stitch them on, it would free up some space on the hide. But, Sticking with tradition ya know.
