That looks awesome!

 

Did you layer layer some leather to stiffen up the boot top and toe box or is the original leather enough to hold its shape?

Hey Calan,

Yes...the body of the holster and magazine holder is cut from Herman Oak leather. Cowboy boot leather lays on top of it...which is the part that you see.

Very nice work. Just curious, how do you keep the design stitching from fraying on the edges after its cut?

Hey cradom,

The stitching is sewn in all the way through the boot from the boot factory and is made of nylon. I burn the tails off.

Thank you all for the positive feedback! I appreciate that because it lets me know that I'm on the right track and that people...including you guys as fellow leather craftsmen...can see the value and usefulness in a hair-brained idea like mine. I'll have a couple of new holster styles coming out shortly and will post them here in the future. I've included a couple more holster sets I've built recently. They are available on my Etsy.com page. If you would like to go and have a look...just go to www.etsy.com and type in "Boot Hill Leather Co" in the search bar on that page....minus the quotation marks. Thanks again guys!

This is great!  What a way to reuse something that is destined to the scrap bin.  I could see these being a great tribute to someones father/grandfather, as a way of having them with you.

Hey MarkCdub,

I actually have a customer that had me build holsters from 2 pair of his boots. He got the first one...than he gave the other three holsters to his 3 adult sons. Each got something that oonce belong to their father to have with them.

That is some motivation to get the boots I'm wearing worn out, except they're my favorites. Thanks for sharing, will have to try this some day.
