Kydex has the advantage in thinness.

I order all my leather in horsehide now.... It's much thinner than cow hide. And it's moisture resistant.

I bought everything I need to make Kydex holsters and have a lot of them now, I just can't get Kydex to be as comfortable as a good Horsehide leather holster.
