Cody C Report post Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) This is my first holster and belt and my third every project. It was promised as a Christmas gift for my father a few years ago but I've just recently been able to commit the time to it. I'm overall pleased with how it turned out, but now having done it there are a few things I will probably change if I do another one.

Stetson912 Report post Posted April 11, 2017 Very nice. That's a lot of bullet loops. A lot of worked put into that rig. Did you stitch or rivet the loops? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptQuirk Report post Posted April 11, 2017 That is some really nice work, and I love the tooling. The thing that really stood out, was the hardware. I thought it was way too shiny, but then it dawned on me- The reason it seemed too shiny, is everybody I do stuff for, wants either dull metal or black. And I do mean everybody! Good on you for breaking that stereotype! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leatherbaron Report post Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Hey there , the holster and belt look great...... only pick i have is that I think you will find that the basket or bag weave on the holster usually goes across and not downwards.... hey but who really cares..... check it out Edited April 12, 2017 by Leatherbaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cody C Report post Posted April 15, 2017 thx for the replies. Yeah the holster was made separate and was the first holster and second project i had ever done, so it was still a bit of a learning curve. I actually hate the basket weave on there, and have since been thinking of making another one without it. The bullet loops were riveted on the ends, everything else on the entire belt was sewn, and i can tell you i am in no way a fan of hand stitching after doing that belt. I went with the shiny buckle/conchos vs dark ones because the belt was dark. i looked at it like i do cars. dark paint= add a little chrome, light paint = black everything else out and I like the way a little bit of shiny breaks things up a little bit.
