Making an IWB (Inside the Waistband) Leather Holster, 1911 3 Inch

Описание к видео Making an IWB (Inside the Waistband) Leather Holster, 1911 3 Inch

This video demonstrates my process of making an IWB (Inside the Waistband) style leather holster for a 3 inch 1911 .45 ACP.

I start off by making the pattern, including how I dissect the pattern into individual pattern pieces. Then I demonstrate the entire assembly process, from cutting out the leather, to burnishing, sewing, forming, and final finishing.

► Snap Hardware:
T-Nut: 6-32 1/4" Barrel - I buy these from two different sources. I get 1/2" flange from McMaster, or 9/16" flange Black Oxide from Index Fasteners.
Snaps: Pull-the-DOT - I use the Cap, Socket and Stud, and I order them direct from DOT Fasteners
Leather Washer: I make them myself out of 8 ounce vegetable tanned leather, dyed black and dipped in sealer.

► LEATHER SUPPLIERS

Wickett & Craig - I typically order their "Tooling/Holster/Carving" vegetable tanned leather. I purchase their "Standard" grade, and I request that they split it down from a thicker hide so the back is as clean as possible. I normally order 7-8 ounce for holsters, 3-4 ounce if I'm lining a holster (I build the whole thing out of 3-4 ounce), and either 3-4 or 4-5 ounce for wallets, journal covers, etc... They will allow you to purchase individual hides

Herman Oak - While I love the leather I've gotten from Wickett & Craig, I prefer the warmer coloring of natural Herman Oak. Unfortunately, H.O. requires you to buy leather in bulk from the tannery, and buying from distributors can be hit & miss. Springfield Leather sells "Herman Oak Premium Belt Bend", so I’ve been using this lately.

The Leather Guy - I don't have a lot of experience with this leather, but the "Artisan's Choice" leather I've used has been very nice. The coloration is similar to Wickett & Craig. The thing I really like about The Leather Guy's website is that nearly every single hide shown on their site is a listing for the actual hide you'll be buying, complete with photos and a description of blemishes for that particular hide. Very cool that they do that!

District Leather - I've never personally ordered from them, but I've heard good things about their leather.

Acadia Leather - I've never purchased from here either, but I've also heard good things about their leather.

Horween Leather - At the risk of sounding repetitive, here's another I've never ordered from, but their leather is very well known.

Weaver Leathercraft - Most of what I order from weaver is buckles and tools, but they also sell leather.
