Bad weather, more leather.

I was watching it rain today, and figured my 7.5" Colt SAA needed it's own holster.

Funny how long that picture makes the pistol look-

7.5” barrel is pretty long.

Thanks for the kind words, men. The Mexican Loop style holster is pretty cool because it is a single piece of leather. There is only one stitch line, so it is pretty easy to make. Most of the original examples were laced with rawhide or somehow held together with brads, rivets, hog rings, or whatever they could access. I understand the Mexican people, back during cowboy days, had trouble accessing thread and needles. So although this design has a cool western look, the original design was born more out of necessity.

Greg, that is a great looking holster, the basket weave is nice, good work.
