Been playing with the western style for the past year or so, planning on adding some western holsters and belts to the website. While working on these it occurred to me that the Mexican loop style and Texas jockstrap style offer some opportunities.

First, I developed these two style so that the customer can choose either holster loop they prefer. Became obvious that the customer can also order both loops, allowing quick change from one style to the other.

Then I asked my carver to work up some carving patterns in the Sheridan floral style for these two holster loops, figuring that this offers the customer an option to customize the holster without the expense of a full coverage carving job.

Next, had my carver work up some floral carved panels to match the holster loops, these to be applied to the belt at left front and right front (carving patterns are mirror image), allowing a matching set, again without the cost of full coverage carving.

Found some nice heavy cast buckle sets in silver floral to offer another possible custom upgrade to the sets.

Just finished some prototypes to display on the website. Holster (Mexican single loop style for Colt SAA .44) with belt, fancy buckle set, and 18 cartridge loops. Second holster is a Texas jockstrap variation made for the full-size 1911 pistols.

Everything will also be offered in plain, uncarved as well.

I think I'll have some fun with these.

Vary Nice!

Sip: At the very least West Hollywood demands that your horse be metrosexual. You may have to invest in state-approved counselors so that you horse is properly integrated into the family unit. I'm pretty sure that you will need to provide gender-specific family counseling in order to properly integrate your horse into the family, probably under direct supervision of the 9th Circus Court of Appeals with oversight provided by the Supremes (watch the judicial robes rock to the music, follow the beat, feel it in your heart, let yourself go with it).

Ride the wave, Baby! Get with the program, Son! Don't allow another nice barbecue go by without properly accessorizing your outfit!

Every morning the question is...............

"Am I "feeling" Roy or Dale.....???"

Nice addition Ray. Just picked up a 5" Schofield replica that needs cross draw western rig to go with it. Dropped you an e-mail off your website.
