Members Eaglestroker Posted January 20, 2014 Members Report Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I'm currently in process of switching most production work over to the drum dyed leathers, and got turned onto this color option by another leather worker on here. The Havana color is a very dark/rich brown with little to no red hue. I suspect that this will be a very popular color with time. Pictured here is a double stitched belt & pancake for a Ruger 4" SP101. Edited January 20, 2014 by Eaglestroker Quote

Members Josh Ashman Posted January 21, 2014 Members Report Posted January 21, 2014 That is a great color and some really nice looking leather! Great job on your work as always Robert! Best regards, Josh Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted January 21, 2014 Members Report Posted January 21, 2014 Great work as always. Is that a saddle skirting color or? Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
Members Haystacker Posted January 21, 2014 Members Report Posted January 21, 2014 Looks awesome. You may want to check out a henna colored thread from Weaver. Gives an option that looks great with the Havana colored leather. Quote haysholsters@hotmail.com NRA Life Member
Members Colt Hammerless Posted January 21, 2014 Members Report Posted January 21, 2014 As mentioned on another forum you posted this on Robert, I really like it. Shooter, Yes, that's a saddle skirting color from W&C. It's not on their website, you have to ask for it. Paul Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted January 22, 2014 Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 Ive tried their Chestnut and not been pleased with the results. I definitely want to try this though. Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
Members J Hayes Posted January 22, 2014 Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 Looks really nice, your stitches are spot on. What weight did you get? Quote

Best regards, Josh Josh, thanks for your compliments! Looks awesome. You may want to check out a henna colored thread from Weaver. Gives an option that looks great with the Havana colored leather. Thank you for the lead on that. I've been trying to find a dark brown thread and have not had any luck at all finding one I liked. As mentioned on another forum you posted this on Robert, I really like it. Shooter, Yes, that's a saddle skirting color from W&C. It's not on their website, you have to ask for it. Paul Thanks Paul!' Ive tried their Chestnut and not been pleased with the results. I definitely want to try this though. I've tried black, russet, brown, chestnut, and this Havana. The color of Chestnut was not a personal favorite but it made nice belts and the holsters did well too. It sure is a major time saver around the shop. The last rather large order I posted was the russet with a light brown antique applied over the top. Looks really nice, your stitches are spot on. What weight did you get? Thank you! When I order 7/8 I get closer to 9, when I order 6/7 I get closer to 6. I started ordering straight 7 and it comes in between 7-8, usually towards 7, and that does well for me. As always your results may vary! Quote
