Making the Clint Eastwood Gun belt. 

I swear I got a whiff of leather as I was watching this !! Excellent "how to" video, fantastic looking rig.

Try Straight Line Collectables for the buckle. Nice work!

Now I want to get into guns just so I may such a belt/holster

In my opinion, this is one of the best and most detailed tutorial video on western gun rigs I have ever seen. I would think the basic steps would be good for other holsters and belts for different types of use. For example, with a little modification it could be used to make, say, a Buscadero rig. Great video. I learned a great deal from, not only the video itself, but the commentation as well. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching.

Very nice and very true to the original! I've made a few Andy Anderson rigs myself although not exactly like The Eastwood rig. I live in Carmel California and Mr. Eastwood was the Grand Marshall of the Centennial parade a couple of years ago. He rode on a Wells Fargo stage coach wearing the poncho from "Fistful Of Dollars", the shirt from "High Plains Drifter", the hat from "Unforgiven" and his Andy Anderson Walk and draw. Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing your process!

JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!! Nothing like a hand made product! I WANT ONE!!!!!!

凄い！職人としての技と魂がこのガンベルトに宿っています。日本人に負けない丁寧な仕上げ、まさにプロフェッショナルの極み😂

Absolutely incredible work and craftsmanship, beautiful rig. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thank you for documenting your work. Was fun watching the entire process and makes me want to buy one.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

Outstanding work!

Beautiful work !!!!!! You are a true artisan

Sir, what a fantastic job you did. I thoroughly enjoyed the series. The Man With No Name movies are by far in my top ten of western films. Great Job. Semper Fidelis SSgt B.

Great work you have Dan congratulations.Thanks for showing

Hi Jack just a small tip for you soft metals like brass and copper were what engineers call plannished and you should try using the ball end of the hammer it is what it was designed for, brass and copper when they are annealed ( softened ) are very easy to work, it is then plannished to work harden then so they do not bend so easily I think you will be pleased with the effect

Your Clint Eastwood holster rig is a "dead-ringer-copy", (pun intended), of the original Clint used in his movies. Tip-of-the-Hat to you London Jacks. Excellent work !

So satisfying to see an artist at work beautiful work.

Amazing craftsman/artist! Congrats!

Bravo Michael Angelo!

This is also super badass! You did an amazing job!

That's some professionals job for sure! I surly enjoyed watching you make it absolutely! 😃💯💢👍👍👍🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀

Brilliant work, very talented and skilled 👍

It was a joy to watch your leather work. 😁

I have watched this whole video twice and it is brilliant workmanship. Well done. Mike UK

Absolutely beautiful!

What a great holster to have made!

Beautiful work. 👍👍👏👏

Enjoyed watching this one I grew up in a saddle shop. My grandfather and father were saddle makers. I still use their tools in my shop. It was interesting watching you use some of the same tools and techniques and like you, I’m left handed! I’ve learned to adapt or make tools that work for me.

Nicely done sir.

You done good for sure. I love it.

Did a right smart job. Greetings from Iowa. Nice job on the stitches and placement of bullet loops. Keep up the good work old son. Blessings on you and your family. Stay healthy and safe. Thanx for your time and talent.

True craftsmanship is a joy to watch even if I’m about your age Jack and in Canada 🇨🇦

Nice work by an expert.

One of my favorites...you do excellent work my friend 👍 have a great day.

well done impressive work

Wow I'm speechless, what a craftsmanship, beautiful work.

A master at work, my pleasure to watch

J'ai pu faire le même grâce a vous ,merci ❤

Talk about inspired...I wish I could work in your shop! I would love the experience and knowledge you’d share

Super cool well done.

Always wondered how the buckle was done. Finished belt/holster is terrific!

Very very nice.

Excellent work sir

Beautifully done . Happy Trails from California.

How about a display, would have liked to see you trying it out. Loved the video , thanks mate.

The belt and Holster was used even in the Tv Show Rawhide as Clint Played Rowdy Yates quite Interesting How a Rig can be its own Star like Rambo's Knife Its a acting Character and leaves its Stamp on Cinema History

Beauty rig. :) looks authentic. Right off the set of GBU:)

you are a great leather craftsman

really nice great job.

Great job

Great Job, you a master craftsman, from master craftsman to another

Nice work

cant wait to try and make one of these bad boys... looks great!

I would not be surprised if very few people is the old west could afford such craftsmanship

Very very good!!!

Just rewatched all 3 parts. These make me want to learn leather working. Haha. Too many hobbies already though.

Great series of videos and beautiful work. I’ve been a huge fan of those movies since I was a kid, I’ve watched quite a few videos on making a leather holster but this has to be the most interesting, the amount of research and work you’ve put into that rig is amazing. If I lived somewhere I could open carry I would be walking around with a poncho and one of these bad boys and my wife would be shaking her head at me the whole time 😂

Exelente trabajo👍👍👍

8:15 I've never seen bullets loops sawn like that, I guess they are machine-sewn, I use to hand stich all my bullets loops using Will Ghorley Hand of God Template. Outstanding work and video. It's on my bucket list too, although I made a smooth dark brown variation that I use in Cowboy Action Shooting. Looking forward to see other videos and hear from you, kind regards Bruce from Italy

For those that are trying to make this themselves. You gotta give extra in measurements for material thickness and stitching room. Personally, if you got the money to do it, buy it made to order from him. It will save you a ton of issues just in sewing it alone. Saddle stitching it all would work great, but it isn't easy. Most folks don't have the leather sewing machine or the the really cool hole punching machine for the saddle sewing he showed. Yes it can all be done without his equipment. But it won't be great unless you are a long time leather worker, who has practiced the technique needed to do it all by hand. I might be able to do what he did without the specialized tools. But it would take me a year most likely to get it that perfectly if I didn't have to redo anything to fix a mistake. As an experienced crafts worker in various materials and crafts, I can say he made this look much easier that it is by far. He didn't show the repeated increases in size he had to do to make it so the gun actually fits into the holster. The material thickness makes a huge difference in the basic working pattern. That means if you followed his markings around the gun and thought you got this, then you will be very disappointed in your work, because it will come out several sizes to small. People this is not plug in play craft. This requires a serious craftsman to make it right. You can choose someone like me that will take forever to make it right, if I don't make any mistakes. Or you can hire the man who like the guy you just saw make one. I'm smart enough to see the needs that wasn't shown. But I'm not expert enough to copy the process, especially without the tools he had at hand. I wish I could have one of those the holsters made for me. But the darker and smoother versions. But I can't even afford the gun. ☺️ Great videos and even better work. I saw and understood it all as I saw it, being a leather fan. But your skill is way beyond mine, and I dont want to waste the leather trying until I got it right. 🤣

Very cool 👍👍 I really want one of these for my Vaquero but I could never hand stitch the belt 😢

Greatly appreciate you sharing the build. Looking for something like this but for a Colt Walker. Possibly something with an over shoulder strap to support the weight.

Good Craftmanship ,Bingo,NY . apv

Very Nice Job. The rounded buckle is very reminiscent of Steve McQueen's gun belt buckle in the Magnificent 7 ! In fact the whole rig is VERY similar to Clint's!! Many years ago a trainee saddler at work made me a gun belt but the belt and bucket were made as one piece, well we got the leather free! we had no metal but the leather was pretty thick and very hard once dried. It lasted many years until I put on weight and it did not fit any more!!!

Jack there is a company here in the US that makes the exact buckle for the Eastwood walk and draw holster. The company name is Chisholm's Trial. They also make alot of other movie buckles even the one used by Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven and his holster is very similar to Eastwoods rig. The order number for the buckle is #BJ-12 Gunfighter.

To keep Chicago Screws in place (or any others), put some Thread Locker on them (blue is best). Won't come loose but can be removed if necessary.

Very nice and thanks...from iraq

I think Andy called it infinity stitch..be nice if ya can get the ace of spades stamp..you can see it on his wrist brace in FAFDM

Absolutely brilliant video and beautiful job. Would you have any information on the holster Doug McClure wore as Trampas in the Virginian.

This looks like the same outfit that Clint wore as Rowdy Yates on Raw Hide

I'd love to have one like that for my Ruger new vaquero or my old Ruger .45 7 1/2 barrel

I am an amateur holster maker. Some day I hope to be good enough to sweep your shop.

Absolutely brilliant tutorial. One thing, if I may be so bold whenever I use Chicago screws I place a small drop of clear nail varnish into the female part, this stops the screw from loosening up. Just a thought.

I've bought rigs in yardsales for like $5-10. I believe they are old ones that would be out of my league to own 🤣😂🤣😂

Buongiorno Jack grazie hai tuoi insegnamenti ho creato anch'io il cinturone di Clint Eastwood sei una persona gentilissima e stato il mio primo lavoro in cuoio cucito tutto a mano certo il tuo e molto più professionale ma grazie hai tuoi insegnamenti sono soddisfatto un caro saluto Jacks👍

beautiful ill be in tutch.

Great job! I was wondering why you chose the slick side of the leather on the inside. Since it’s not visible. The rough side on the inside would keep the belt from slipping around.

Could you make that same rig in a left hand version and I really really like the fact that you put as many bullet loops as the belt will hold. I am left handed and i use a Ruger blackhawk in 45 colt. I also need the belt to go around a 50 inch waist and with just a little bit more muzzle forward cant.

Very beautiful work, and a great video. How much would such a rig cost? How long would it take? I have a copy of the gun Mr. Eastwood used in all his spaghetti westerns, and I think this would finish it off perfectly.

Really interesting video. Thank you. My only question is to ask why you used BMS instead of stainless steel, which would save you having to seal it from corrosion…

Have you thought about doing the holster and belt rig that Kevin Kline used in the movie Silverado?

Superb as always. Just wondered where you got the hardware parts? ie the buckle etc

Yes I do wonder how much would it cost to have a belt my holster and belt made for a for a 22 evolver Ryan and where is shoots a 22 Magnum

How do you figure out the correct spacing on the stiching holes for bullet loops for the size cartridges you will be using?

Excellent videos! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your inline presser feet on your harness stitcher? I have been looking for a good inline foot for a good while. Cheers!

Have you thought about asking the company that made the rig if they would share the Design of belt buckle or show to a tin Smith 🤔 they can copy brass buckles i believe

By the way I watched your video until 3am !!!

Damn you are good. Can you make a left handed crossdraw like that and how much.

just came across this great video do you make these holsters for sale and if you do what do they cost can they also take a cross draw holster like lee van Cleef 's in the same movie but for a remington navy thank you sorry where are you located i'm in sheffield my self just curious about postage

Just discovered your channel. I’m curious your making an American movie star / icon when did you not use American leather which is what the original was constructed of ? Ricky from IBM

I’m trying to make a mix of this and Dutch’s from red dead redemption 2, is 3 inches too wide for a gun belt if it tapers to 1 inch wide for the buckle

Hi again. Just wondered what thickness of leather you used for the bullet loops? I'm using for the belt 3.5mm but that seems too heavy for the loops and wants to distort the belt before I can put the liner on.

I'm going to try and make one for myself. Can I glue both rough sides of the leather to each other? I'd rather a smooth finish than rough.

Great job. Can you make the Ojala holster?

I would like to have one made. How much are they?

What do you do about the belt end that goes over the bullets? I was looking at your pattern of your gun belt.

Hi there great video, I'm searching for sewing machine , please can you tell what kind you use? Best Ralf

Well Jack that You do very good work. Anyone would be proud to wear your holster outfit. I wonder how the outcome would be to cut the belt on the bias. I think it would break in a little easier.

Yo quiero una para mí.españa Almería responda cuanto dinero y tiempo en mandar

Where do you get your guns in the UK or elsewhere please?
