Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 9, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted February 9, 2017 8 oz is 8 oz (except over the pond, where it's 3mm). Just a thought, tho.. 2 x 4 oz means a guy only has to buy one weight of leather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

If you don't keep your pistol up against the suede a lot, & regularly clean it you might be ok. The other problem with suede is that it picks up grit, & the sliding in & out of your pistol will wear on the finish. Most of the very thin IWB or pocket holsters are made out of chrome tanned leather. And have been for years. It's stiffer for it's thickness than veg tanned. Meaning you can get away with thinner leather for the holster. I'm not talking small shops doing it, I'm talking the big guys, mass produced stuff. I had heard that and believed it. But like Dwight said, old wives tale. The Desantis Sof tuck holster is chrome tanned per their CS. Quote
