Gunrig and Shotgun Chaps

[ChuckBurrows]

Yes I still do cowboy rigs  - finished this set a while back for a VERY patient customer down under in the land of Oz.

He requested three holsters, a money belt, and a shotgun belt with doubled loops - I did these loops a bit different than normal - twinned pairs, with an over strap to keep them tight together - first one with loops like this and I really liked the way it came out. I prefer twinned pairs rather than a double pouch since it keeps them snugger, especially over time and the rims don't rub together and they're easier to make    - I used an added strip below to keep them at the right level













and here's the gent all rigged out - ya reckon that grin means he's one happy cowpoke?

Very nice! This is the look I always try to achieve especially for my own gear.  Your customer looks great with this Rig and Chaps. Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Holy cow !! You got to be kidding me. That is unreal beautiful. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph lad.

That is just a stunning all-get-out. The shotgun loops with the extra strap is inspiring to say the least. Working on mine I was not happy with the way they sat, never quite lined up. Mind if I copy your idea for the second strap?   
I need to get a good studding tool too because that just really looks the part on those rigs.

[Mountain_Man]

That is some amazing work.  As a newbe to the leathercrafting world I hope to be able to make something like that, well someday

Nice stuff Chuck . Always have admired your stuff. I need to talk to you about a 1911 holster If you're interested.

Thanks for the nice comments and sorry for the slow response -- between the flu (got the flu for Xmas.... - shades of Dave Crosby  ) and the sub zero temps for the last six weeks  things have been on the tough side and not much time for play....

ballncap - have at it nothing patented here and I'm always glad to share most things, the system works well too...

Thanks Chuck....just don't go thinking I have loads of cash to spend with all of my "fame". LOL!

[ChuckBurrows]

I don't think most of do theses days! I always liked Bill Murray's (paraphrased) comment about fame and fortune - Keep the fame and just give me the fortune!
