Members Deanimator Posted August 1, 2010 Author Members Report Posted August 1, 2010 Anybody have a recommendation for the weight of the clip cover? I'm thinking under 5oz., but would like a recommendation for somebody who's actually made one. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, since I know the way that Hume and Bianchi (albeit in plastic) do it works. I just need the proper material.

Members JoelR Posted August 8, 2010 Members Report Posted August 8, 2010 When I first started making hosters about a year and a half ago, I had the same concerns with leather price. Once I bit-the-bullet and started buying better quality leather, I have not looked back. I won't touch a Tandy hide any more. The last side I purchased was directly from Wickett and Craig and was marked as a grade C on their overstock list. I think it cost me $80 + shipping. Two small flaws on the entire skin that will need worked around.
