Members Bayou Bengal Posted December 10, 2017 Members Report Posted December 10, 2017 Donated to my local Sheriff’s Office. They give out door prizes and such for their Christmas party. This was to be given to the Deputy of the Year. It went to an investigator, and a quality guy. The coin was glued and then stitched into place. Holster and mag pouch are 7/8 veg tan. Straps are 5/6 oz. Fiebings pro oil black with blue stitching. This was one of my favorite rigs to have had the pleasure of working on. Quote
Members flagshipsupply Posted December 10, 2017 Members Report Posted December 10, 2017 Sick!! Love that blue stitching. What thread did you use? Ritza Tiger makes a nice deep like that that I've been dying to use on a project. Doing a run of black belts soon. May use it on a few of those now that I know how nice it looks. So is the piece on the stump the rig itself? I'm trying to visualize how it all fits together on the shoulder. Either way, great looking set. Cheers Quote

The thread is royal blue, bonded 277 nylon from thread exchange. They were running a great deal a few weeks ago and took advantage. Basically you’re looking at the center piece for the back. 4 of the straps run out from there and 2 go over each shoulder and 2 underneath to connect to the holster and mag pouch. kinda like putting on a coat.

YinTx Thank you. I had my doubts about the thread. But once it was all stitched, it turned out pretty good. Quote
