Holster Making Leather in Cowhide and Water Buffalo
Shop holster leather by the hide, with tanned cowhide and water buffalo ready to become a gun holster, a knife sheath or other leatherwork. Every hide is 8-9 oz, with the strength a holster needs for everyday wear and enough give to stay flexible while you work it.
Mold a holster to the gun with cowhide leather, which keeps its wet-formed shape for a crisp fit and comes in Espresso, Chestnut, London Tan and other colors. When metal hardware will sit against the leather, reach for water buffalo leather, whose vegetable tan does not react chemically with metals. The hide has a natural grain look and comes in Crazy Horse Gray, Chocolate Brown and other shades.
Cowhide is just as suited to a rugged knife sheath as it is to a holster. Water buffalo leather works for key chains too, along with other projects built with metal hardware. Whether you are wet-forming cowhide or cutting out a water buffalo holster, you can order the leather as a 6in x 12in, 1ft x 1ft or 1ft x 2ft hide in most colors.
