Some of my latest holsters

[DaltonMasterson]

Howdy. Heres a few of my holsters.

The first pic is the set I made for my wife and her 1872 Opentop Colts. The second pic is for my 1860 and 1851 Colts, and the final is for 58 Remingtons.

WOW...great work...I love that Cheyenne style of yours.

Couple questions; do you make a matching belt for all your holsters?

Also, it looks like you've sewn in a welt for your Remington holster, did you do the same for your wife's holster, hard to tell by the picture.

Thanks!

Amazing! Those could be "Packing Iron" covershots.

Beautiful work!

I dont really make the belts match. They are close, but not quite. I figure back in the day a cowboy probably bought a piece here and another piece there, so nothing will quite match perfectly.

I made my wife another set, and it does match, but she likes these much better.

The welt was a fix for the holster being waaaay too tight. I normally dont add welts to any of them. Just a fix is all that is.

Thanks. DM

EXCELLENT WORK!! Your modeling has a very clean and crisp look that shows up well in the photos. Ref. "Packing Iron" book; it says the very same thing about the belt/holster matching. Most of the original rigs that have come down together seem to have been "a piece of this; a piece of that" even when they were by the same maker and were probably bought the same time! My compliments! Check out my posts.

Really like'm:-)

The first picture...The color you have on this set is gorgeous, what have you been using?

[DaltonMasterson]

Thanks for the nice comments folks. I have Packing Iron sitting open on my bench most of the time, and use it for ideas very often. Heres another one I did from PI for my Starrs. I did goof and put the pattern on the wrong holsters, so the left pattern is on the right and vice versa. Oh well.

Tina, the color is Tandy ProDye Red, immediately covered with mahogany. Then I lightly sand the high points with 400 grit sandpaper, then immediately redye with mahogany. That leaves the sanded spots lighter, highlighting some of the detail.
