    Building the Leather Business

    I say Building the Leather Business . . . as in "I plan on doing this".

    I have to go see "a man about a horse" . . . in this case the horse is a sewing machine . . . a very nice one . . . one my son should sell one day for at least what I paid for it . . . or thereabouts . . .

    And it will give me some serious working levels I have never had with my present machine.

    I plan on seriously updating my offerings of belts, holsters, and want to reach out into the suspender business. Did a combination suspender / holster setup for a friend last summer . . . he liked it real well . . .

    May offer more of those . . . as well as just leather suspenders . . .

    Plus . . . gonna get crackin on my forge . . . got some things I need to drag out of the forge . . .

    May God bless,
    Dwight

    Prayers up for a successful expansion of the business. I sure love my leather biker vest with secret pockets in the winter. In summer sure love my crotch possum combined with a pair of gym shorts..nail apron and long tail shirt. A leather one would be cool.|https://www.amazon.com/Medium-Summer...0ZD2UTJW&psc=1

    Glad to hear your keeping it going Dwight. It just so happens I have come into possession of a colt python I'll be needing a holster for. I think MG is looking at a holster for one of her pistols as well. I'll get with you on the details.

    The matching belt is a tad wide to ride a horse comfortably with so I usually just wear the holster on my normal belt during round ups. It is absolutely perfectly canted to grab while riding. (Snakeshot does work well to get a stubborn bull moving.)
