A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE . . . .

Howdy All!
The Missus is constantly learning from Mr. Legendary Leather's
handmade leather creations. I like to share things that I find
interesting in hopes that you can join the learning curve. too.
 
 
 
Take a look at the above holsters. Both are 'pancake' holsters
(so called because of the obvious shape) that hold a 1911 pistol.
Do you see the subtle differences between the two?
 
 
The first holster is unlined, sports a retaining strap, and is
tooled using a copyrighted traceable pattern. The second holster is
lined and has a unique tooled design created by Mr. Legendary
Leather. Subtle differences that make a big impact. Since the
second holster is lined, it has a tighter fit so no retaining strap is
needed to keep the pistol from sliding out of the holster. Lining
a holster or sheath makes for a classy appearance however it is
labor-intensive. The lining always has to be hand-sewn . . . extra
labor and materials that translate into a higher price for the item.
Mr. Legendary Leather often makes items with these subtle
differences giving his (much appreciated) customers the option
that best fits their needs and pocketbook.

. . . . AND YET ANOTHER . . .

As the Legendary Leather Clan prepares to sell goods of the
bovine hide type at yet another Ambush this weekend, the Missus
wanted to share another costume creation from the artistic duo
of Mr. Legendary Leather and Sugar N. Spice . . .
 
 
 
 
 . . . yup, the duo crossed over to the pirate side and made
a trip to the Renaissance Fair. Pirate Days was the lure
and the two had fun creating yet another costume. The
baldric for Sugar N. Spice was the highlight of her
costume and dad had a blast making it.
The Missus sees the purchase of another tub from
the container store to hold the plethora of new costumes!
