KeithL Report post Posted September 13, 2008 Hi, I'm new to this, but I want to make hoilsters. Primarily, I want to make them for concealed carry, not so much cowboy styles. I know I want 6-8 ounce weight depending on whether I am going to make an IWB, a pocket or OWB. OWB would be on the heavier side and the other two styles on the light side of the range I stated. My question is I see that retailers sell leather from different parts of the cow, shoulders sides etc.. What kind do I want? Thanks, Keith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted September 13, 2008 For IWBs you'll do fine with the single shoulder's that Tandy perpetually has on sale. They're affordable and will give you some practice and experience before you start buying large pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shorts Report post Posted September 13, 2008 I started out with shoulders (double) from Tandy and then switch to Herman Oak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
