Hags, thanks for mentioning your attachments. I don't see them in the post. Is there somewhere else I can find them? Also, the thread is on the heavy side. I'll look into finer options next go around. No machine, so I hand stitch. 

AZ, thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, I just saw this.. here's a pic of my parts and pieces I use for my shoulder rigs. I use nylon for my chest straps, but leather is an option as well. I catch hell from a few members for this, but leather is not always the best material. I measure below the nipples, cut to size, and the holster width usually gives me enough room for clothing allowance. I do a 25 degree cant on the chest rigs, and just be sure to leave enough room for a grip and draw away. Dont hesitate  to ask if you have other questions.

Hags, this is spectacular. Thank you. BTW, where did you source your glass slicker?

Also, what weight leathers for the components?

I use Hermann  Oak 7/8 for the holster, 4/5 for the rest,  1" nylon for the chest strap, but you could do leather with a buckle as well. The glass slicker came from amazon. I see now there is a 2 pack of different sizes. I think I would like that better. Sometimes this one is just too big. I bought a 2 pack for <$20. I  bought my welded rings there as well as the purple loctite (you don't need 40 to 50 ml!) that I use on my Chicago screws. I do almost all my buying online. I live on the Olympic peninsula of Washington state and dont have the luxury of a leather supply within 5p miles that includes a ferry ride across the Puget sound.

Sounds peaceful.

It is. Getting a little breeze off the Pacific today  but the Olympic mountains block the prevalent southern wind we usually get. I grew up in Texas,  moved to Seattle in 91 and got addicted to mountains,  trees, rivers, salmon, etc, etc, etc. 52 here today.
