I made myself a holster for my new 1911. 5oz and 3oz Wickett and Craig laminated together. Used a @JLSleather Avenger pattern slightly modified as it’s a compact not full sized. The belt loops are off a different leather so didn’t darken as nice as the holster. 5spi with 1mm Tiger thread. Left natural.

Looks really nice.

THIS IS the reason I always recommend cutting the loops from the same leather as the holster body, even if you have to split it to right weight.  Still, should be easy enough to dye those loops to the belt color  Looks good.   ;)

Ye I’ll probably change them. Oiled and sat them in the sun and didn’t change the color one iota.

Very nice, clean work. I would dye the loops black, which will match the snaps and actually be a nicer contrast to the holster than the light color, IMO

Thanks for including the specs. I always like to know the leather weight, SPI and thread size. I used 0.8 Tiger last time. I really like your 1mm.
