Horsepen,
Nice coloring and tooling! Question about the belt is that one layer of leather or two?

HorsePen Henry · June 20, 2008, 08:45:11 PM

Johnny, the belt is one layer and is 9-10 oz. veggy. The holster is 6-7 oz. veggy. I like the lighter holsters personally. The old time holsters tend to be lighter than many makers use nowadays. But that is everyones preferences at work. I surely appreciate the lot a ya. Yer a great bunch to hang with. Thanks for all the compliments and comments.

Cheers,

Real purty! Wonder if one of Will Ghormley's brass buckles would be too much for that rig?

Marshal Will Wingam · June 21, 2008, 11:41:26 AM

One of Will's new clip corner buckles would look good on it.

HorsePen Henry · June 21, 2008, 11:47:57 AM

I have one of Will's silver ovals coming as soon as the foundary gets a roundtuit. Nice buckles fer sure!!!

Waitin' on leather to get just right fer stamping and tooling is like watching water boil.

Dalton Masterson · June 25, 2008, 12:18:51 PM

Those look great!!
I saw a dispatch bag with a single handle at the top with the same construction sell at an auction this last weekend. It went high. But it was very cool. I wanted to take some pics but the buyer wouldnt let me. Thanks for posting this, so I have an idea of construction! DM

Mogorilla · June 25, 2008, 12:21:04 PM

The saddle bags look great!! where do you get the brass slots? I have looked for those for some time.

Marshal Will Wingam · June 25, 2008, 01:12:25 PM

Wow, Don. Those look truly correct. Great work. I'll have to make a pair one of these days. Thanks for sharing.
