I use natural leather. Almost every item I make is crafted from Herman Oak Leather. It is vegetable tanned cowhides from cattle raise on US ranches. Hides account for about 5% of the value of the cow so no livestock is slaughtered just for the hide. They tan a product that otherwise would go to waste. Since it is a natural product the best care is using Montana Pitch Blend. For touch up I have the oil. For more water resistance I stock the paste. It works well to protect the leather. Some scratches can be fixed with boot polish wax of a close color. Higher shine can be achieved using clear wax boot polish.

I can not customize already completed projects. Oftentimes the leather needs to be cased or the change needs to be done before sewing or finishing. If you see a product you like send me a message with the changes you would like. I make my own items so if the custom order is within the scope of my craft ability I will let you know. In most cases I can complete projects in 3-14 Days.

I’m a one person shop. I can do a wholesale order but keep in mind my items are already priced on the low end of the custom market. I price them lower because I love the craft and I need to assure items move or I will need a bigger house. So if you are looking for multiple items let’s talk.

I make everything myself. I use either purchased patterns or ones I have developed or adapted over the years. Many have come from requests that turned out to be some great ideas!

I mainly make holsters for 1911 pistols, Double Action Revolvers and Single Action Revolvers. I make pancake and avenger style for some Glocks, the S&W M&P, and a few others. I can only make a holster for what I have available for molds. Revolvers and 1911s are the most common guns and covers a large variety. I also make western rigs and 1911 rigs. If you’re interested in a Western or 1911 complete rig send me a message because it’s better for me to craft them together. I get several people who buy a holster then ask for a matching belt. The problem is each hide varies some because it’s a natural product and dye lots vary in color. It’s also easier to make a matching pattern when I’m doing it at the same time.
