Contributing Member JLSleather Posted yesterday at 05:58 PM Contributing Member Report Posted yesterday at 05:58 PM (edited) I like laid out patterns. I have gone through considerable amounts of leather, scrapping "almosts" and "not quites". But my friend Robert, who up until his death a few years back was Meco Pocket Holsters, made some of the most beautiful and serviceable holsters ever made. Without a "stitch line pattern". He had a rough shape he used for his popular models, and then boned / molded the leather before sewing. STUNNING work. Seacamp (the gun maker) used to call him for 25 or 50 at a time, requesting they be made with THEIR stamp, which they provided to him (so you may have a seacamp holster made by Robert and not know it). In Robert's defense, I did get him using many patterns as time went on, and in fact he sometimes called me to REQUEST that I design a new pattern for a gun he had orders on. And those he made with these patterns were just as nice as the ones he made prior, so .... apparently each his/her own ....
