Doc Holiday Shoulder Holster Pattern Needed

[Clintock]

I gotta see it when it's done! My dad wants one for a 22 revolver he has. Back troubles so a belt pulls on him.

I'll be doing pictures, . . . I think I pretty much got the shoulder holster figured out.

May God bless,

Really excited to see your work!

If you are able to come up with a pattern would you mind sharing it with me? I am too new at this to make my own patterns well but I still keep trying and learning. I would like one for my Ruger New Model Vaquero in 45 Colt.

Saw a pattern hanging on the rack at Oregon Leather Eugene Oregon done by Brazos Jack wild west series, Callahan shoulder holster

Thanks, Treed, . . . The Callahan is similar, . . . and for most would work, . . . the fellow I'm doing this for wants it as near exact as possible, . . . only thing will be the color, he decided on saddle tan, . . . which is pretty light.  He also wanted a full cross draw holster and cartridge belt, . . . got that cartridge belt done for him today, . . . and I was ready for a fight by the time I got done with it tonight.  Just one little problem after another.  But it is the "big" piece that needed to be done.  

The cross draw holster and britches belt will be tomorrow hopefully, . . . and the shoulder holster later this week or first of next week.

May God bless,

For the 101st, . . . for sure, . . . 

Actually, last night I finished up the last of the stamping, . . . today I'm into the dying process if nothing goes wrong, . . . hopefully by the end of the week, I'll have the whole thing together.  

My only "stray" from the one on the movie set, is my customer wanted a lighter color, . . . should wind up similar to Forester's creation.

But this is fun stuff, . . . 

May God bless,

After watching the "shootouts" endlessly, . . . taking screen shots, . . . capturing and printing images, . . . I finally got what I thought was a pretty "true to the movie" copy of what was used.  The color is much lighter, . . . but the customer wanted it that way.

He also wanted a cross draw and a cartridge belt.

May God bless,

Dwight

Looks good Dwight. What a complicated bit of strapwork!

Actually not bad, . . . the strapwork:  one shoulder, . . . one belly, . . . one "up and over" the right shoulder.  

Getting how they did it was the problem.

I found it to be actually pretty comfortable once I got it on and cinched down.  

Ol' Doc died young, . . . so he didn't have to worry about middle age spread, . . . "hangover", . . . etc.  

May God bless,

Dwight
