► LEATHER SUPPLIERS
Wickett & Craig - I typically order their "Tooling/Holster/Carving" vegetable tanned leather. I purchase their "Standard" grade, and I request that they split it down from a thicker hide so the back is as clean as possible. I normally order 7-8 ounce for holsters, 3-4 ounce if I'm lining a holster (I build the whole thing out of 3-4 ounce), and either 3-4 or 4-5 ounce for wallets, journal covers, etc... They will allow you to purchase individual hides
Herman Oak - While I love the leather I've gotten from Wickett & Craig, I prefer the warmer coloring of natural Herman Oak. Unfortunately, H.O. requires you to buy leather in bulk from the tannery, and buying from distributors can be hit & miss. Springfield Leather sells "Herman Oak Premium Belt Bend", so I’ve been using this lately.
The Leather Guy - I don't have a lot of experience with this leather, but the "Artisan's Choice" leather I've used has been very nice. The coloration is similar to Wickett & Craig. The thing I really like about The Leather Guy's website is that nearly every single hide shown on their site is a listing for the actual hide you'll be buying, complete with photos and a description of blemishes for that particular hide. Very cool that they do that!
District Leather - I've never personally ordered from them, but I've heard good things about their leather.
Acadia Leather - I've never purchased from here either, but I've also heard good things about their leather.
Horween Leather - At the risk of sounding repetitive, here's another I've never ordered from, but their leather is very well known.
Weaver Leathercraft - Most of what I order from weaver is buckles and tools, but they also sell leather.

[@safecracker45]

too fast and no explanation

[@schmidtforge1946]

making it look easy. I'm attempting to make my first holster and by far the hardest part is getting the pattern down right.

[@mikeisgettinupset]

I don't know if i'm the only one but i'd like to see the full, non-fast forwarded version uploaded.

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Thanks Mike - I will try to go back and upload full-length versions of the videos.

[@jdreichenbach]

Please lol

[@JosephpPetrosky]

Hi have you made a Yaqui slide holster with tension screws yet or have a pattern thanks videos try leather work 15 plus years ago gave up my stress level lol

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Hello! I haven’t made anything like that yet. I kinda slowed down production. With also having an 8-5 job, i was getting burned out with a constant slew of orders hanging over my head.

[@jdreichenbach]

I love this time lapse. I wish I could slow it down and see the whole technique. I have a Glock 43X with nightstick light/laser combo added. I want to create a holster like this but with room for the added light/laser. Im also thinking of a thin craftsman leather lining and not sure how that might affect how tight. I also do not have a bluegun and will have to use the G43x (unloaded of course). This means I will have to be careful to protect the gun and plastic laser while fitting/boning.

[@gilbertjohnson1649]

I like your more detailed and informed videos better.

[@MrCharlie1960]

need that for a 3 inch 1911.

[@chuckb5012]

some explanation would be helpful

[@seth1274]

What is the color combination of that holster?

[@bc4437]

I’d like a pattern for the beretta nano

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Thanks for watching - unfortunately, I don't have the Nano in my collection right now. :(

[@savannaburton631]

Nice

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Thank you!
