JLSleather Report post Posted January 28, 2020 That's a bit different layout - I don't mind that one bit Looks like once a fella got used to the different snap config, should work right fine. Might try makin' one with the back laminated... prolly hold it's form longer. And if I was being picky, I'd offer ta send ya some lighter thread. I don't mind light thread on dark leather (even white on black) but I aint never been a fan o dark thread on lighter leather. Personal preference is all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personal preference is all Thank you for the compliment its basically my 1911 pattern lengthened to fit . Yea the dark thread probably wont happen a gain lol. But its pretty stiff due to double thickness on both sides. I wet formed it and the back doesn't show much from the cylinder. Its about 10 oz leather The fat flap might warp a bit and the snap configuration is still being thunk about as it does double duty as a shoulder holster or belt holster, I guess time will tell, after next Elk season I'll know for sure.

I really appreciate your opinion of my work and hope to get close to your quality one of these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! a guy could sew a faux strap around it to enhance that look I'll bet 7 hours ago, noobleather said: What dikman said. Looks great I like the two tone effect! Thanks for sharing Thank you. The two tone will even out I rubbed it down good with Feibings golden mink oil but and it sinks in faster where the leather isn't flexed 3 minutes ago, Frodo said: I likely thumbs up !!!! Thank you!
