Suggestion on cowboy style leatherworks

yourotherleft · March 31, 2008, 09:50 PM

Hello, I am wondering if you cowboys can suggest some good sites to get leather for my pistols and lever guns. Be it holster, lever wraps, slings, buttstock covers, or scabbards. So far I found El Paso saddlery and levegunleather.com. I'm sure there are more out there for comparison. Thank you.

Check out Bob Mernickle, C.O.W.S., San Pedro Saddlery, Wild Rose and there's probably a half dozen others I'm forgetting at this moment. Most of mine is El Paso.

Check out the custom leather handiwork of "bigbadgun" from our sister site thehighroad.org.
His prices are very reasonable too:

His website addy is contained in his signature line:

He did post that he will be closed from April 5 to April 13 though.

Beautiful... Thanks a bunch guys.

If you're not in a hurry you might keep an eye on the classifieds over at the SASS Wire. http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showforum=14 Sometimes good deals on used leather come up. The best leather for the money I've seen was done by Brazos Jack of Etowah River but he gave it up to pursue other interests. I have the last rig he made.
This is my daughters rig he made.

I bought a single Huckleberry rig very, very similiar to Hawg's rig. It was made by Jim Simmons of Baird, TX. I like it!

long rider · April 1, 2008, 10:38 PM

Hey Hawg, thats a nice looking rig you have there

.
And there i was thinking i had a butt busting rig, and
then wont you know it, some one comes along with a
better one

Long Rider, that's my daughters rig not mine. Mine is much simpler. It's just plain double loop Cheyenne holsters with a 3 inch belt that doesn't have loops. I don't have pics and my camera is broke.

BTW hers now has a matching left strongside ). This is her a couple of years ago when we were first getting her outfit together.

darrentxs · April 2, 2008, 08:02 AM

http://www.kirkpatrickleather.com/m_western.htm <-One of the very best makers IMO

long rider · April 2, 2008, 07:39 PM

Well the rigs your daughters, still like the look
and the color is just right, yep nice rig.

Yeah, the pool looks better now since we had it relined last summer. Here's the front when there was actually snow on the ground this past winter.
Yeah, those are trees.

long rider · April 2, 2008, 08:19 PM

GEE i am so jealous and envious, it looks like
a nice home, it reminds me of jackson in wy

i used to live there, but thats another story

whats that white stuff on the ground

, could that be
that thing they call snow

long rider · April 2, 2008, 08:23 PM

Its a good thing we not started a thread called
show your homes, i would be at the bottom of
the list.

scrat · April 2, 2008, 08:32 PM

wooooooow

thats a lot of snow. nope toooo cold for me.

how can you shoot in weather like that

Hawg Haggen · April 2, 2008, 08:58 PM

That's the first snow I've seen in I don't know how many years. We got four inches. Stayed on the ground maybe four days.

Raider2000 · April 2, 2008, 09:06 PM

A very nice house there HH, & some fine rigs there, the pool looks nice too.

My house here in Virginia doesn't see much snow but it is a simple A frame on a .6 acre lot, man I can't wait to get a buildin on my property one day.

Hawg Haggen · April 2, 2008, 09:09 PM

Thanks, it don't leave much in the way of spare change tho.

Raider2000 · April 2, 2008, 09:18 PM
