Need a Holliday shoulder rig pattern

[Cliff Fendley]

I thought I read where someone has a pattern for a rig like Kilmer wore in the movie Tombstone but can't find the post.

I have a friend of a friend that really want's me to make one for a lemon squeezer so any guidance you pards could give me would be GREATLY appreciated.

I usually make my own patterns but the straps and layout of that rig looks like it could be a challenge to set up from scratch.

i used a pattern from hidecrafter a few years ago for a doc holliday holster.
i cant find a program on my computer to shrink down my pics to post here for you to see.
if you want to see my pics send a email to me at edfarmer67@yahoo.com and i will email pics to you.

Cliff, the Leathercrafter and Saddlers Journal Mar/Apr 2013 has a Dac Holliday Hrig in it (there was a pattern correction in May/June edition). If you don't have access to it PM me. I also have a pattern by Jim Simmons (Brazos Jack) called the Mclellan that is a pretty nice Doc style rig.

One thing to note - IIRC there are actually three different shoulder rigs made for Doc and they are all slightly different according to Pete Sherayko who supplied the leather and guns. According to a conversation I had with him right after the movie the basic idea came from the WW2 "tanker" rig with the across the across the belly strap for retention

Thanks for the info fellas. I didn't realize there were three, I had noticed two different ones from watching the movie about a million times over the years.

The one I'm speaking of is the black one that he has on when he puts his hands out with a revolver in both hands. I think it was during the shootout and he says "your a daisy if you do". I'm uncertain how and where the straps attach and where they run around his back. Also it is unclear to me if it attaches at his waist somehow. I guess not since I dont think he was wearing a gun belt at the time.

These pictures show one version of a Doc rig. Looks like it could attach to the pants or not.

Yes, the holster is basically an M7 with a slightly different strap arrangement and the pouch is designed for the pistol "Doc" was using instead of a M1911 or .38 revolver.

Hi,

I just got done watching the Kevin Costner version of "Tombstone''... I am slowly warming up to that version of  Doc Holliday.

Was that a nicikel-plated British Bullldog he was carrying?

[Cliff Fendley]

I couldn't say because can't stand to watch Costner and Quaid in hardly any movie much less that one. I'm not a huge fan of either and they both were an epic fail.

Wyatt Earp was bad acting and bad timing. Trying to remake the same movie that was released the previous year with a superstar cast that had pulled off some of the best acting of their careers.

The movie Wyatt Earp makes me think of middle school kids or young actors putting on a play following the same screenplay as the movie Tombstone released the previous year. Their acting is a joke. It's like they over acted trying to make up for something they knew was already missing, originality. They just took the movie Tombstone and pumped it full of hot air.

WY I NEVER!! Kostner is a local boy,i gotta back him

He has stated that a viewing of the film How the West Was Won at the age of seven had "formed" his childhood.[3]

Spending his teenage years in various parts of California as his father's career progressed,[3] Costner has described this as a period when he "lost a lot of confidence", having to make new friends often.[3] Costner lived in Orange County, then in Visalia (Tulare County), attending Mt. Whitney High School, and then back to Ventura, graduating from Villa Park High School in 1973. He went on to earn a B.A. in marketing and finance from California State University, Fullerton, in 1978

His acting is precisely as exciting as an acountant's sheet so . . .this makes some sense.

Your Mean Bob! Mean!

Costner is a liberal gun grabbing hypocrite. Like many hollywood actors that have made a fortune in films with guns.

Does OK playing a soft hearted type but has a hard time selling the tough guy act. He played his best tough guy in Hatfields and McCoys.

I'll call and ask him...get back at ya~
