That looks nice and clean. I really like the attention/effort that you put into finishing your edges

[tyrel cody]

Awesome work sir! The double buckle is quite interesting also, haven't seen any like tha. Does that serve a purpose or is it judt to be different?

[dwight55]

Yessir, . . . good lookin' rig.  Doc Holliday and Bat Masterson would have been proud to wear that into town.

As said earlier, . . . one of the marks of a craftsman is the attention to detail, . . . which your edges show well, . . . and as a personal aside, . . . I've always kinda been partial to the simple lines, simple and plain look.

May God bless,

Wow Red, nice outfit.  Are those fast draw pistols?  I only ask because the backstage appears to be aluminum.

Lookin' gooood, Red. Nice and clean. Good work.

[GunClick Rick]

RED! That is just down right comfy lookin and very proffesional!!! My question is the same,tell us the story on the double buckle,is that for wearing in the back,right and lefty?

[StrawHat]

I can't answer for Red but for me the double buckle would allow for the use of another billet, for when I needed a larger (or smaller) gunbelt.

His ideas may vary.

[Red Cent]

About the same idea Strawhat. Especially made for those that hang up stuff in the closet and the stuff shrinks. Or a customer's tape measure is a little off and "just because".

Thanks for the kind comments. I owe a lot to you folks for your photographs and advice on this site. A new leather maker just does not realize, at first, what experienced mentors are really worth.

[Cliff Fendley]

That is some clean work Red Cent. Good job!

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Page130 of Packing Iron shows a beautiful example of a Mexican double buckle rig from 1910-1920. That era in produced some beautiful leather.

[Sir Charles deMouton-Black]

See PACKING IRON, page 130, for a Mexican belt decorated with pititado (Sp?) (You were faster on the draw, Marshal.)

I made a double chape belt with cartridge loops on the centre piece.

[Slowhand Bob]

Great looking holster Red, have you tried doing a reverse main seam pattern yet.  I have decided that once I can start shooting again I will make myself a couple of new rigs and doing a reverse seam might something for me to play with.  Have not looked into Packing Iron in several years but I wouldnt be surprised if the style wasnt around back in the old days also.

Boy Howdy that is a mighty fine looking rig
I like that a lot, very clean looking.

Nice looking outfit!  You are to be congratulated on your fine work!  I love the double buckle . . . I'd forgot about the one in PI.  That's a great idea . . . especially when things "expand" a little!     I have a favorite belt that I made for my New Vaquero rig and unfortunately, I've lost enough weight that there is no more "take up" in it.  A new one will be in order when I get the time and I think I'll try a double buckle .  . not only looks nice but a good solution!  Thanks for sharing . . great photos . . great work!
