Love this rig. It is different, not like every other cookie cutter rig out there. Is it your design?

That's beautiful, I'd love to have a pattern for that , all my attempts seem to be ill fitting.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes and no about the design pattern. The belt is a standard money belt that John Wayne wore, which is pretty simple to do once you get the hang of it. The holster was a different story. I kept tweaking my pattern until I got it "perfect" in my eyes. I looked at a lot of the holsters that he wore and noticed that most leather shops that make his rig were a little off in the area of the toe and mouth of the holsters. I must have made 6-8 holsters before I was satisfied with what the trigger guard area and the toe looked like.

Boom,

Tandy has a "Holster and Gun Belt" Pattern Pack #6031. It has patterns for several holsters, western style belts with instructions on how to size them, shoulder holster rigs, etc.It sells for about $7.99 or if you're an elite club member the price is $4.00. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Do you have a pattern you can sell or give me?
