Members yotebuster1200 Posted February 24, 2013 Members Report Posted February 24, 2013 I am building my first IWB CCW and have a question on how to tackle different parts of the build. I am attaching a picture I pulled off of google as a reference. I was wondering how things go together where the reinforcement leather wraps around the top part of the holster. I know it is a separate piece of leather but how is the leather underneath put together and when do you sew the reinforcement leather onto the holster? I am sure if I could see some pictures of the holster from a few different angles I could kind of figure it out with a little explanation. I dont know if that made any sense but mostly I was wondering what your pattern for a holster like this looks like? And.... How is everything put together underneath and around that reinforcement piece. Any tips and pictures that would shed some light would be appreciated. Thanks Scott Quote
electrathon Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 I don't know how to find it but there is a tutorial on here how to build this style holster. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted February 24, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted February 24, 2013 I think you are referring to this one: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=22992&st=0&p=147075&fromsearch=1entry147075 Quote
Members yotebuster1200 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 24, 2013 That was perfect. I figured it had to be something like that. Thanks for the link. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted February 24, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted February 24, 2013 You are most welcome. I'd forgotten about that tutorial until electrathon mentioned it. Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted February 24, 2013 Members Report Posted February 24, 2013 As an aside, I can never understand why builders always want to pose their IWB's with the belt loops parallel to the slide of the gun, knowing full well that is not the way that they will be worn. Quote
Members malabar Posted February 26, 2013 Members Report Posted February 26, 2013 Because that way, the loop on the left doesn't obscure the stitching around the trigger guard <g> tk Quote
Members yotebuster1200 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks again for the help guys. I posted some pictures of my finished holster on new thread. Here is a link http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=46362 Quote
