BigRiverLeather Report post Posted October 25, 2009 Do you have a preference which to use for holsters, sides or shoulders? Are there different qualities that may give an advantage of one over the other? The sides I have are much clearer than the shoulders, smoother flesh side and less imperfections. Undyed and unformed it seems a bit softer than a shoulder and I am wondering if this will translate to the finished product. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted October 25, 2009 Back in the day, when HO cut shoulders, I used them. They don't do that anymore, so I use sides. I felt that I got the best yield from Double Shoulders for gunbelts and holsters (Cowboy). For CC holsters and belts, you might get better yield from sides.
