Lots of good looking rigs. I’m just starting into this, have my guns, and now its time to try to find leather. I don’t have any holster makers in my area (Middle Tennessee) that have anything to look at, and the online leather makers do a terrible job of showing any detail, quality, or specifics.

Welcome. You can find many great leather makers here. My first holsters I ever bought for cowboy guns were from an old user here many years ago. I still have and cherish those rigs also.

My sentiments exactly. Your work is a genuine pleasure to view.

That looks good with the lining stitch line to give it a border of sorts. Good job.

Thanks. This one acted as sort of a prototype. I had never done one of these lined before and made some alterations to my original pattern because they want it for a 1860 and my previous patterns are for a 7.5" Schofield and then altered to fit a 7.5" Colt. This is yet another alternation of my original pattern. His holster will be black. I made this one to match a previous belt and holster rig of my own that has been antiqued some.

Another set of fully lined half flap holsters. I have enjoyed making these half flap holsters lately. People seem to like them pretty well also. This double cross draw pair.

Looking good, Rube. Those cross draw half flap holsters are a cool design.

When you said "double cross draw" my first thought was of my cousin, Outlaw Jim (no longer with us), who wore two right handed cross draw holsters for CAS. One on either side of the belt buckle, just far enough apart to meet SASS requirements. He stood left side to the firing line ,like you would a weaver stance, and just yanked them out and went to town. No 'cross draw twist' needed to keep muzzles downrange so no chance of a procedural while on the clock.
