Any decent new holster recommendations for a Colt New Service?

The New Services are bigger thru the cylinder and frame than N frames, but not by a whole lot. Because of that MOST (non plastic) leather non tight fitted N frame holsters will fit , maybe with soaking in Isopropyl alcohol and pushing gun deep in and rubbing outside vigorously for 1/2 an hour and let drying with gun inside . That works for the old Lawrence N frame holsters and like. I formed a nice old 6" N frame Lawrence flap holster for my 5 1/2" barrelled N frames like that . My 4" bull barrel special needed a custom holster .
 
Just for an update,
I want to thank all the folks for their input.

I ended up buying a George Lawrence Plane Jane vintage Model 25 holster at a good price and in decent shape.

Decades ago I purchased a El Paso Saddlery #2 thumbbreak for a 5" M1911, then used it to carry a Colt New Service to and from the range. Recently I purchased a 1911R1 and am using the #2 again with a M1911, but I think, just about any holster that fits a standard sized M1911 would fit a Colt New service.
