Making Quality Handcrafted Items is my business!
I craft leather items from vegetable tanned cowhide. Each item is handcrafted so they are all a bit different. I have made thousands of holsters, belts, sheathes, etc. over the past several years. Each is made to last. I start with full sides or double backs, trace the pattern then cut the shapes out with a knife. Next I dye and assemble the item. Once assembled it is treated and finished in various ways depending on the use and look desired. Most holsters are treated with all natural Montana Pitch Blend or Obenaufs heavy duty LP. Both are mainly a bees wax base. This helps protect the leather. Some items may have a clear sheen applied. It's all about the desired affect. My patterns are time tested patterns that were purchased from well known makers or created by me usually from a customer request. I mainly make Western style single action revolver holsters and 1911 holsters. I do have some others for more common guns. This started as a hobby because I needed a well made holster for a vintage Revolver and just couldn't find a decent one. I found the holsters sold in stores were made with low quality leather and thread. For the same or better price I can make a handmade holster from quality materials.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
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.
Custom and personalized orders
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.
Wholesale availability
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.
Who makes your products?
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!
What guns do you make holsters for?
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.
