Chiappa Rhino 60DS drop holster (stange situation)

You’re right about a strange situation.  But your end of it turned out looking pretty dang good.  Hope the other place doesn’t mess up your nice work.

Given that you have no idea what the other shop is going to do I think I would have gone with dark brown/black stitching?

Certainly a strange situation, what sort of "custom" shop does Western-style gunbelts but not holsters?

I tried talking him into black stitching, but he wouldn't budge on the color. I like black on natural better than white or cream. The contrast makes all the effort of hand stitching shine. 

From what I can tell with what little information I was able to find online and pictures, they don't typically make any cartridge or western style belts. Just the normal everyday belt. I'm still kinda perplexed by it. Long story short, they opened up so about 2 years ago. (I considered buying the business when the previous owner was retiring) Every time I try to go in to introduce myself, they're closed. They don't answer the phone and they don't return calls. That seems to be a pattern with some other people I've talked to. It would be nice to meet and work with some local makers though.
