A little more information for folks who want to know

From the Originals

All of our favorite holsters started with an old one.

We've collected original 19th-century leatherwork over the years, and when we find a holster worth bringing back, we have it reproduced from the original. Others are based on traditional historical styles of the period.

The result is a collection of Old West and 1800s reproduction holsters made for today's collectors, re-enactors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates good leatherwork.

Made by Hand in America

The leather is cut from the hide and worked at the craftsman's bench. Depending on the design, you'll find hand tooling, rolled edges, traditional stitching, and other details drawn from historical examples.

They're not factory-made holsters dressed up to look old. They're handmade pieces built with history in mind.
