Is it ok to mix leather like this?

Do you always match your holster and belt color? Does it still bother you even if no one else will see it?

I don't really want to have to buy a caramel color belt for the holster.

never occured to me.

If it's concealed, it doesn't really matter.

I carry IWB and wear a black undershirt, so I like my gun and gear to be black because I think it'd be less noticeable if it should somehow get exposed for a brief moment. More importantly, it appeals to my OCD tendencies to have everything match.

But that's just me.

Just get a caramel magazine pouch and set a trend.

I always prefer to have my belt color come as close as possible to matching
the color of the holster. I don't always get it right. I think everyone should
be able to put whatever colors together that they have available. There is
no right or wrong as far as I know.

I agree Phil, it just seems like most factory holsters are in black or caramel (Bianchi, DeSantis, Blackhawk) and most of my belts are brown to match my shoes/boots. I actually usually carry a 438 in a black leather holster with this belt and I think since the firearm matches the holster color, it works better.

Girl, surely you're not going out in public with those mismatched leather goods!

Actually it wouldn't bother me if even if everyone else could see it.

What is the make and model of that holster?
I need one or two of them myself, for a couple of 1911’s.

 

[snubbyfan]

I like to just stick with black. No worries with matching, including my boots.

 

[lkabug]

I guess I'm just an old mismatched kind of person.
Black is black. But with brown I try to get close. I only have two gun belts.
One black one Brown.

It's Italian leather sold by Blackhawk. It's the pancake model. I think you would need 420001BN-R.

But, all the cholas be fronting when I roll by. They diss my kicks, so I gotta up my pewpew game.

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

Don't have a belt or shoes that match.

My leather holsters & mag pouches are saddle tan or black.
I don't wear a tan or black belts so brown it is.

 

[Igiveup]

Almost all my holsters are saddle brown, with the exception of a couple black cop holsters that I have never worn. My belts are mostly custom made in western style, (well, maybe a couple have shrunk over the years), with buck stitching that matches laced holsters, so in a sense, I am matched a tad bit. But for concealed carry it doesn't really matter to me.

Me, either.

Sometimes I have a black belt with a brown holster. Or vice versa. Horrors!

I'll never forget when my niece told me that I wasn't supposed to wear a black belt with brown shoes. Excuse me? And this matters why?

 

[s&wchad]

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!

I had to double check the username to be sure my wife hadn't signed up here. Then I realized that mis-matched accessories wouldn't even be a question for her.

Mix and match,for me.

 

[Moo Moo]

It's ok as long as your shoes match your belt when your shirt is going to be tucked in.

Women rarely seem to match their bras and panties (in my limited experience). Lol.

What color hat are you going to wear?
