Congrats. Looks good. I like the darkened "aging" on it, is that something you built in or have you actually worn it in? Were you allowed to display with the revolvers in it like this or did you display it empty. Nice rig.

I wonder if any of our resident knife makers have ever done that?

BrowningGuy, I had to display just the leather. The guns are replicas from Denix. The bullets are inert cases with a bullet seated for looks. The dye was a mistake. I mixed two different dyes by accident. I liked the result, so I used it. Thanks for your interest. Joe

Congratulations, fantastic, super looking rig. Is leather work just a hobby of yours or are you doing it, or maybe planning on doing it commercially? Sure looks like you know the concept of it.

ivankerley, Yes, I do hand stitch. I use a needle and thread. I want to keep the quaintness and uniqueness of the hand stitch. My business card has on it "hand crafted leather". Thanks for asking. Joe
