Maybe thats what my eye is catching? Too big. Ill look at it more after I get off work. Might look better with a couple smaller conchos with the tassels. The tassels would get in the way of drawing the pistol though? Might just be stuck with rivets? Thanks for the fresh eye. Quote
Members dikman Posted August 7 Members Report Posted August 7 Conchos always look a bit gaudy to me, you either have none or go all out! In your case there is a lot going on with the belt and holster and I don't think you want anything that detracts/clashes with them. Unless, of course, you like that sort of thing.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted August 7 CFM Report Posted August 7 i like the conchos if i did anything to this, which i wouldn't, I would make the tail on the holster strap a little shorter. Oh damn, no tassels, this ain't no peep show yer dancin in.

Members dikman Posted August 9 Members Report Posted August 9 Those conchos look much better, more subtle. The others stood out too much, being solid metal. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
