Members leatherjunkie Posted February 19, 2009 Members Report Posted February 19, 2009 well you did a great job on the holster. one thing about the cowboy style holster you chose to do, no need to wet mold it till you see all of the gun outlined in the leather. cowboy style holsters were not molded that much. they were just molded enough to hold the handgun securely and be pleasing to the eye. as far as pricing it, i usually charge 60 bucks for a unlined holster. 85 for a lined holster because you have to sew more of the holster and use more leather for the lining. i dont charge for developing the pattern because sometimes it takes me a few days to get the pattern to look just right. and 95% of the holsters that i have sold did not leave my shop untoolled. i just see the holster laying on my workbench and i have to tool something on it. just doesnt seam right to not stamp at least a border on the the leather. to me its just wrong to not stamp/tool something on a holster, unless its a inside the waist holster where noone will see it Quote keep it in the 10 range or at least hit the steel.
Members TexasJack Posted February 19, 2009 Members Report Posted February 19, 2009 Find a commercial web site with leather holsters. Usually they run quite a bit more. Show him the picture and say, "Normally, I'd have to charge $xx, but for you I'm gonna knock it down to $zz. Quote
