Had a weird thought, mostly the kind I get ! Ya know how they left the hair on some chaps worn up north, called them "woolies" ? How about a hair-on holster ? Ok, maybe a hair added back on layer would be best way, but anyway, don't believe its been done. You saw it here first, from the weird mind of stevemb.

Are you talking about those old time chaps that looked like a fur coat on your legs or maybe just hair on cowhide?
When I was a kid we used to go to Tijuana from time to time. They made some beautiful leather women's purses. Some of them tooled leather and some with hair on the hide. Usually a combo of brown and white or black and white. With all the designer crap now you don't see anything like that now.

No pic capability here until I get a new 'puter and upgrade the software in my head. Amongst the Oh/Pa Steelhead are 3 or more genetic strains, and still the odd Coho or King. Also small chance at a Brown from Geneva and to the east. Most of the steelhead are gonna be 26-29" and 6-9lbs. A few "jacks", first year fish, and then the 3rd year, 30-34" big guys. The state record type fish are the very rare 4th year fish. stevemb

CaryC, what came to mind was just the hair left on cowhide. The woolies chaps an example. COR said he's got a book, showing something similar from way back, so not an original idea then, but something not seen for many years at least. Since hide comes tanned to you, hair long gone, we'd be talking adding a hair layer back on, or tanning a whole hide yourself. Lots of trouble either way I know. If ya just gotta have something none of your friends have...have at it ! stevemb

Hair on calfskin easily available, some black and white very pretty. Line with standard holster leather.

Back when the old 'B' westerns made the Saturday morning tv circut there used to be a 'sidekick' Fuzzy Knight',( I think) that wore a holstien hide holster. May have been a couple of others, but my memory's on vacation today.

I used to have a memory, it was wiped out by the crackers and water they gave us in Kindergarter class. They told the parents it'd be milk and cookies. I told mom we were getting cheated, she didn't believe me. Its been downhill ever since ya know. stevemb

Anybody who wore a holster like this would look like a 1970's adult movie.
