Not to start a big old argument my friend, but stating that it is verboten to put any oil on a holster is just not true generally.
There are many oils, greases and concoctions of all sorts to put on leather, some not necessarily a good idea probably, but I would not generalize to say that no oil, ever is right either.
What happens with holsters, boots, saddles and other leather items is that people not knowing have a tendency to over oil.
I would hazard a guess that more holster makers do put some kind of oil on the holster after the initial molding and stitching. The problem often comes with the new owner over oiling after the fact. A little goes a long way, and there are almost as many opinions on exactly how and what and how much as there are holster makers.
