One of the places I get leather is having a sale on “hair on leather” I’ve been hoping to find the time to dig out my holster making stuff this winter( if we don’t get too much snow )
I’d be kinda picky on the leather but thought the right piece might be kinda cool
Anyone have a holster with “hair on” leather… other than finding just the right piece… I’m a little concerned about the durability and how it would wear…
Anything I’d need to know about working with “hair on” leather???

I had one, a search here might find talk of it. I'll text nephew and see if he can take and send me a pic.

As to wear, think the hair does what fur and hair have always done, protect what's underneath. As to the hair taking the abuse, a personal preference thing. Do you like the honest wear look or the Sunday go to Meeting look. Text sent to nephew. The hair on, kinda neat.

You would need to part the hair somehow or shave it off so it doesn't get stitched aray (sp) and look weird.
Now the other option would be to stitch a normal holster then glue hair panels to it.

Well , you could just wipe glue on the finished holster and while its tacky stick it on the retriever. When you pull it off you would have a Brazilian wax finish, but the dog will probably stay distant for a while.

Ha ! Having 1st Britts, and now Labs, but dogs since I was 12, am laughing at the above posts. My current Lab next to me now, she is getting old..

Considering the flairs for style and gun bling around here, am surprised that so few have an interest in this type of holster. If a nephew wasn't in need of a holster that size, I'd still be enjoying the looks it gets. I told people, I told that bleep to keep his dog outta my trash !
