For Red: Here is what I guess you call the welt. It seems to be two layers of thick leather, and the holster seems to be both robust and delicate, if you know what I mean. I was quite amazed at the workmanship and minimalist look to it. The lining seems to be something like soft glove leather.
Best Regards, Les

Do like the way the leather welts are jammed up agains the dust shield of your 1911. Now -- about that front sight, which on anything but a G.I. is going to drag something fierce.
