Default Allesi Holsters

With the passing of Tom Kowicki will someone continue making Alesi holsters?

Lou Alessi passed away nine years ago (Feb. 1, 2009). He made me one
of his famous Hard Shell Talon IWBs for J Frame, that I will continue to
to treasure. I believe Tom Kulwicki was Lou's son in law. Lou's daughter
was involved in the business, but I don't know if there were any other
makers than Tom. It would be a shame to loose Lou's famous designs, but
a lot of makers are using them now. RIP Tom.

Correct spelling of his name:

KULWICKI, Thomas – The Buffalo News

Yep, that's how I spelled it.

Actually it's the other way 'round. And Lou only picked up where Paris left off, as did De Santis (except Gene has always admitted it).
