How do you display your belts & holsters?
Once the move to the new house is complete, I'll have an office and a reloading area all to myself. While the books will take up q lot of office wall space, I expect some space for leather display Not having enough leather to fill a closet, I'd like some ideas in addition to pegboard. Belts "in the round", or splayed out flat on the wall? Holsters flat on the wall,or perpendicular, or on rotating display fixtures?
Or hide them all so that SWMBO doesn't figure out where the retirement funds went?

My wife and brother in law made me a frame with some kind of fiber board covered in felt. I can pin holsters and belts to it with hooks and tacks. It displays probably 10-12 holsters very nicely.
It's not easy to display holsters and even harder to display belts.

Les, I do believe you are correct...... the guns were one thing then the dog gone leather issue cropped up..... I got 4 or five holsters for each gun, except for my 66-3 snub.
There is no end in sight I fear...........
Still on the hunt for that dadgum *** 66

More for storage than display...
Sorry, no pics and little off topic but here's some links on what I'm trying out now. Not implying they're the best but for the money, they work.
The clear plastic organizer (for wooden stocks) was less than $5 in the store and the wire rack was $8 and works pretty good for holsters.
For grips (similar but mine has 36 pockets):

For holsters:

The belts hang in a closet, the holsters are in a drawer. Nothing fancy to display.

I actually try to keep up with pictures of each one and what should live in it, with an approximate value. I value them as another asset that could make a list/inventory, handy in case of fire/theft/untimely death.

This "display" is on my office wall. The guns are all replicas. The real
ones are under lock and key in my vault.

I don't "display" them but I do hang them on hooks in a closet. The two I commonly use daily are in my dresser.

I used to have all of my cowboy action leather hanging on a blanket rack in my guest bedroom. I liked the way it looked and it was easy to access when I was doing a lot of cowboy action shooting. Subsequently, I left it there on display, anyway, but you had to walk into that room to see it, which hardly ever happened. Otherwise, leather goes into a big box or two and under a bed. It doesn't intrigue me much.

I don't want anyone to know what I carry or where it is stored. My holsters are IWB and out of sight. Much less have them displayed on a wall.

My belts are occasionally visible when I"m wearing a tuckable IWB holster. When I know I will be outside and not going into a place of business (including 2 restaurants I frequent) I pretty much expose my belts and holsters since I'm open carry.The restaurants are in heavy hunting ares and exposed firearms aren't an issue. When I am doing OWB in my everyday world I keep both covered.
