Is it ok to mix leather like this?

[K Frame Keith]

My holsters are mostly brown and my daily carry belt is a green instructors belt so...

Unless I'm showing off at deer camp (I don't OC at BBQ's in Michigan), I don't worry if my gun leather matches. I do try to match my belt and shoes on the rare occasion that I wear a suit or dress business casual.

I did get called out for wearing two different socks on one occasion. No big deal, I just told them I have another pair just like it at home!

Back in the day as a municipal LEO we wore black leather. Shoes had to be standard black oxford lace ups. One night when our platoon reported for midnight shift lineup at 2300 one of the guys showed up with one black lace up and one Brown loafer on. He didn't realize it until we were all seated for the briefing. Needless to say cops are hard on each other for stuff like that and we never let him forgot it. Midnight shifts were pretty rough. We rotated through the three shifts every week with one week off so we came off daylight on Monday afternoon and reported for midnight on Tuesday night!

If I was selling belts I'd say they gotta match.
It wouldn't matter to me if they matched or not.
Nice rig!

I'm in deep trouble with the holster fashion police, not to mention at least one forum member. Routinely my "outfits" don't match. I've been known to have a semi shiny stainless steel piece in a black cherry holster with a OD green belt and ivory grips. On top of that I'll have on a pair of Perry novelty suspenders (maybe red flames on black suspenders) with the OD green belt. I'm really a mess on some days. The holster fashion police would put me so far under the fashion hoosegow they'd have to pipe sunlight in. Thank goodness for long tailed shirts that cover my mistakes. But hey, I'm fat, dumb and happy with my choices and nobody sees them, except my wife who just rolls her eyes!

Mine don't always match and so far my wife hasn't said anything. But, then, I think she is about ready to toss in the towel when it come to me and fashion. My idea of dressing up is clean jeans and a new pocket T shirt.

Which reminds me. Last couple time I went looking I couldn't find any 3X pocket T shirts anywhere.

I clicked this thread not really knowing what I was gonna find.
Gotta say it has been enlightening.
Had no idea anyone would give two seconds of thought about the color of a holster and belt combination.
Personally, I pay no attention to anything but fit and function. Don't get me wrong, I would never consider a pink holster Or belt as it would certainly clash with my red Carhartt pocket T's (or vice versa).

I get my pocket T shirts (2XT) from Duluth Trading, Carhart,
and/or Berne. Pretty sure they all have 3X. Dress up to me
is clean Wranglers and pocket T shirt too.

Both your Belt and Holster are beautiful pieces of Leatherwork.

I think you'll get a "pass" from most guys for not matching perfectly!

Don't forget to only carry stainless after Memorial Day, and only carry blued after Labor day.

I saw this holster in black cherry and had to have the color.

Don't have a belt or shoes that match.

That would look good paired with a black belt. In fact, I think most holsters look good with a black belt. When in doubt buy a caramel holster with black trim, black holster with brown trim or black holster with cordovan trim.

Bottom line is, it just doesn't matter - the whole point of CC is that nobody sees it. Open carry, on the other hand...

I like the two-tone look.

Not something I really payed much attention to.

The guy that said he only uses Black may have a point. A BIANCHI Holster and a SAFARILAND Belt and a Smith and Wesson Buckle does look good together.

 

[johnc486]

I'm more interested in both my shoes matching.

 

[BAM-BAM]

Fashion police.........a step in the wrong direction IMHO we need more officers on the street!!!!!!

EDC is generally a Wilderness Tactical Frequent Flyer belt in Coyote brown nylon and a rough out leather Sparks Summer Special with matching double mag pouch.

Thank goodness I carry concealed...... I don't show my leather in public!!!!!

As long as my leather matches my purse and high heels, I am GTG! And sorry, I have no pictures!!!
