Avidreader Report post Posted February 14, 2011 That's beautiful, I'd love to have a pattern for that , all my attempts seem to be ill fitting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Report post Posted February 14, 2011 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. Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
