Holsters

This holster was custom made for a pistol by Heritage Manufacturing, model "Rough Rider Revolver".  It is a single six that fires 22 caliber long rifle and also has a cylinder that will fire 22 magnum.

The design on the front of the holster is a basket weave design.  It was dyed Bison Brown.  The holster was glued with contact cement and then hand stitched with waxed thread.  The edges were then sanded on a belt sander coated with saddle soap and burnished.  Finishing continues with finer sandpaper.  Finally the entire holster is given a top finish coat for protection and to keep the dye sealed.





The next two photos are the pistol the holster for which the holster was designed.


This final photo shows the pistol in the holster.

Sheaths

This sheath was custom made for the owner of this home made knife.  It was made from 7-8 oz veg tanned leather.  The design on top or the knife blade is a quilt pattern.

Due to the size of the bolster (1/2 inch on each side of the blade), a wedge was inserted to the back side of the sheath to allow the back to come straight up against the person wearing it.  The belt loop at the top of the sheath allows the user to slide a belt through the loop.

Men's Wallet

These wallets were made from brown and black crocodile embossed cowhide.  They were made as a custom order for a customer.  I knew the customer only wanted one wallet, I just wanted to give them an selection to choose from.  

The inside of the wallet was made from black pigskin to give strength with a thin piece of leather.  There are six pockets that can be used to hold driver's license, credit cards, etc.  Under the three pockets on each side there is another pocket that can hold more cards.  The top of the wallet opens up to be able to insert money.

This leather computer case or sleeve was a custom request.  The outside is brown crocodile embossed leather.  The dimensions are 14 x 11 with a 1 1/2 inch gusset.  The inside is lined with a coated brown cloth liner that is glued in.  The lining is something that I added above the customer request.  The zipper is a heavy duty YKK zipper that opens to the full width of the case.  This case sells for $40.

Custom Fashion Belt

This belt was a special request for one of my best customers.  It was requested to be 2 inches wide to go with a particular blouse she has.  It looks great in the photos, but even better on the customer.




Note detail on customer specified buckle

Double belt keeper adds extra touch.



This belt is made from upholstery leather.  It is folded back on itself, glued and stitched to hold its shape.  Belts of this type must be made to the exact size for the customer because of the stitching and rolled edges.  All edges are rolled or folded back so that there are no unfinished edges showing.

Men's Wallet

This wallet is made from crocodile embossed leather on the outside and black or tan pigskin on the inside.  Pigskin is used on the inside because of its thin properties as well as its strength.  Using a thin leather on the inside allows multiple pockets without adding bulkiness to the wallet.

On the inside there are six pockets which will hold cards such as driver's license, credit cards, gift cards, store value customer cards.  Under the group of three pockets on each side, there are two more pockets that allow extra items to be slid underneath.  Along the top there is an open pocket that is large enough for money.  

The wallet is designed to give the user maximum storage with ample compartments, yet thin enough so that it isn't bulky.  It is sized so that it will easily fit into either a hip pocket or front pocket discretely.
