This is how I make my custom leather holsters. In this video you will see each step of my holster making process. I cut the leather, dye it, stitch it, wet mold it, and apply a finish. Website: www.trierleatherworks.com
You will get a better black if you do one brown first. and suede holds dirt which is rough on the finish of the gun.That is really nice work picked up several good tips thanks
They did come out really black after the second coat dried. I personally prefer a leather lining, but some customers do prefer suede. With suede you do have to keep it clean. Thanks for the comments, I do appreciate them.
If your asking, what thickness do I use. I use 9/10 oz. leather for unlined holsters and 5/6 oz. leather with 4/5 oz. leather or suede lining for lined holsters.
Josh, thanks for your question. I typically use 4 to 5 oz. Hermann Oak leather, and 3 to 4 oz. leather or suede for the lining. On some of the larger handguns I may use 5 to 6 oz. leather. The holster in the video was made with 4 to 5 oz. Thank you.
Just go to trierleatherworks.com then go to the holsters page and select the model and options you would like. If the model you want isn't listed, select other models at the top and discribe your firearm model and contact details and I will get back with you for further details.
If you notice in the begining of the video, I'm making two holsters. One for a Glock and one for a Shield. I was trying not to make the video too long and still show the entire process, so I cut in and out between holsters. I didn't show the template for the Glock, sorry about that.
Yes, I made the pattern. I'm working on some more videos, but there is a lot that goes into them. It takes longer to make the holster or belt, and more time then I have right now to edit the video.
