Hollingsworth5107 Report post Posted June 17, 2013 I would like to thank everyone for the inspiration / helpful hint's I have receivied . I have been a member for a year or two and this is my first post . LET ME HAVE IT GOOD OR BAD . The gun rig is two layers of 5-6 oz drum dyed from RJF. I do not have a machine so it's all hand stitched . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SooperJake Report post Posted June 17, 2013 I think it looks damn fine. It could be that the picture is a bit blurry, but I'd say treat your ammo loop edges as nicely as you did on the holster itself. That seems to be a common thing I see on western holsters. Easy enough to smooth up before sewing. Again , it could just be the picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hollingsworth5107 Report post Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks for the kind word's guys . This was my first cowboy style holster and belt rig I do mostly concealed carry holsters . It was a a lot of stitching but I learned a lot from this project . Sooper Jake , I was kinda thinking the ammo loops would look good not burnished . Or maybe I just got lazy .

Greybeard Report post Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Very nice holster / belt! Hand stitched? How long did it take just to do the sewing? (Lay out to final stitch?) I find currently I spend as much time Stitching as I do for the entire rest of the process.... Hand stitching doubles my time.
