Press this cowhide around the gun while it is wet, and the holster keeps that molded shape once forming is done. Careful tanning gives the leather rugged durability for a holster you wear every day, and the same hide can be formed into a knife sheath to go with it.

The leather has an authentic grain and enough flexibility to shape, dye, and finish by hand, so the look of each holster is up to you. Hides come in Black, Brown, Chestnut, Chocolate, Espresso, London Tan, and Natural, giving you a range of starting tones before any dye goes on.

Head to our holster making leather section to compare this cowhide with the other leather we carry. If the holster you have planned calls for a second opinion on color or hide size, reach out to our team.
