hybrid style all leather holster?
Does anyone know if someone makes something like a crossbreeds holster but in all leather instead of half kydex? Ive been going through the struggle of not being able to carry anything for long without my legs going numb from pressure. The crossbreeds holster i have is the only one that works well but don't want to use a kydex holster on my 60 pro. Anyone have suggestions? This is a dilemma and makes me hate carrying.
I have smaller j frames but only wear jeans so another question is how do you pocket carry in jeans or is that far fetched?

Pocket carry is the greatest! I usually don't even notice I am carrying. I would never even consider any other way it's so easy, simple, and comfortable.
I use a Desantis Superfly; I, and others, highly recommend them.
There are a few other pocket holsters that people recommend, as well.

Right now on my 340pd I have hogue tamer grips to combat violent recoil even though they work great they are too bulky for pocket carry. I think I'm going to go to some smaller wood grip and carry +p in it.

I guess it depends on the jeans. I wear Diamond Gussett brand jeans, and my 642 airweight fits fine, in a Mika pocket holster, with Hogue Tamer grips. I never wear really tight jeans, always buy a bit bigger so there's room for IWB holster carry...

I wear levis from wall mart that are relaxed fit and have been wearing the same pairs for years but the pockets are a bit small. Anyone recommend clip draw for a 340pd or 442?

FWIW I think High Noon Holsters make what I think you are looking for.
To me they look to be really well made and are all leather

The $20 Wranglers from Walmart (the newer style denim, not the old school country Wranglers) have pockets perfect for the 642. They're relaxed fit, but not baggy.
There are definitely some pants that will not work for pocket carry. My mother in law sews, and has sewn in deeper pockets on older pairs of jeans before I started wearing the Wranglers.

i think mine are the regular fit and they are wranglers not Levi's. I think with my condition wearing a belt is the main issue and not the fire arms weight. I threw my 340 pd in my waistband as If i had a clip draw and I've been comfortable all day today and no belt would be needed since my pants fit and the 340 is so light. But I wonder if the clip draw is a good product. I might have to spend the money and find out but it seems like my only route.
Id love to pocket carry but i have asthma and have an inhaler and carry a knife too so my pockets are already too full and if i move everything to one pocket that would be a mess .

I do like it i have no issues with it. But my model 60 pro has a bead blast finish and seems to scratch easily. I think leather might be a little less harsh on it. I know its a carry gun and will get scratches here and there but I personally think its too pretty for kydex. And actually i think there is one company that will line the inside of their hybrid kydex with leather I forgot about them.
right now its in a very janky contraption of a holster I'm not proud of haha.

Carhart or Dickies brand carpenter jeans. The 442 or similar in a soft holster fits the front pocket easily and a gerber slides into the side pocket. I never know they're there even out working or on a tractor

If you are going to pocket carry or even IWB carry the answer is yes they do go together. And don't forget the belt.

Here you go! I have one for a 3" L Frame and one for a 2.5" N Frame. Very very very comfy IWB (even my 27-2 3.5" is comfy to carry in it, ramped front sight sticks out a bit, but still draws smoothly), tucks in nice and close, cylinder is at belt level. Good grip and draw from the holster, too. The holster also comes with a paddle for OWB carry as well and the holster itself has retention (and reinforced mouth), not just from belt pressure. Super comfy to carry all day, even my heavy 357's. With the scandium PC 327 2" and 386PD 2.5", its like I am not wearing a gun or holster.
