Looking for opinions on a new IWB Holster design.

Hi all!

I am working on a new line of premium Leather IWB Holsters. I am looking to set myself apart from the standard hybrid design with a few notable differences.

1. Propriety super-soft backing. Waterproof and very slightly padded. It's a better barrier between you and the leather.

2. Rugged Leather Shell Instead of Kydex

3. 100% US Sourced materials down to the last thread and screw.
Do you think this would be a holster that people would be interested in around the $80 price point?
I am looking for everyone's honest feedback. Thank you in advance for your time!

I suppose you are targeting the market that is occupied by the Galco Kingtuk? Or at least that is my first impression.

Can't argue with this. Softer is better.

Not sure how I feel about this. I know a lot of people refuse to carry striker fired pistols like Glocks in anything except Kydex. While I'm sure hard leather (and even soft leather) is fine, it might not be a selling point for some.

I wouldn't buy a holster that didn't meet this requirement.
