On the bench…Commander, in natural.

Busy month around here so far. Always a good thing. Working on a few 1911 holsters in natural Hermann Oak leather, and did a little floral carving on a couple. I’ve got several more coming–plain, basket stamped, and more florals. Also working on some Oak leaves.

We’ve got a few listed on sale on our other website. They’re marked down pretty heavily. If you’d like to take a look, head over to www.GibsonLeather.com, or click this link to go directly to them… https://gibsonleather.com/collections/leather-holsters-belt-slide-owb-2

That’s it for now–I’ll be posting more photos of the process as time goes by, and also working on shooting some video for the new YouTube channel. If making this stuff interests you, please head over and subscribe to our channel. It’s new, and we’re off to a slow start, but more will be coming soon.

Until next time–from what’s left of America!

1911 Holster Light Brown Alpha.

Merry Christmas! I know I’m about 20-days early, and it’s not politically correct to put it that way these days, but I just got back from the annual Christmas tree pilgrimage to Jackson County, and we found us a good one. It wasn’t nearly the adventure one might envision. After 35-miles or so on the highway, the tree harvesting goal was accomplished in the parking lot of Lowe’s in Marianna, Florida. No crawling around in the dirt/mud/snow. Of course, this is Florida, so we don’t have dirt, mud or snow. Sand …we have sand.

I’ve got an experimental holster in stock. The color is called “Light Brown A.” I know–it looks more brownish-red, with emphasis on the red. Personally, I like it, but it’s a little different. It’s a right-hander, with white stitching, hand stamped with a rope basket stamp and Barry King half-flower border. The back panel is not dyed which eliminates any chance of dye bleed. It has a sealed top coat, hand-beveled, dyed, waxed and burnished edges and belt slots. The belt slots are for a 1.5″ wide, dual-layer (1/4″ thick) gun belt. Rake/cant angle is 15-degrees. Back panel is detail molded for retention.

If you want it, it’s ready to go. You can find it on our other website at this link GIBSON LIGHT BROWN ALPHA $149.00, Regular $169.00. *No Christmas delivery guarantee or promise.*
