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.
