Some new flaps

[CraigC]

I haven't posted much leatherwork as of late. I've been quietly shipping Threepersons orders without much fanfare.

Nearly a year ago I decided to do a frontier style full flap holster but didn't necessarily want to copy anything in particular. This is the design I came up with and while it draws inspiration from several historical patterns, it's a direct copy of none. I finally got around to finishing it last week, along with the one below. It's fitted for either the 8" Cimarron 1860 Richards Type II and the 7½" 1871-1872 Open Top cartridge model but will also work with 1851/1861/1860 percussion guns.

For something completely different, a customer contacted me about doing a replica of Indiana Jones' holster from Raiders of the Lost Ark. It took a bit of time to come up with a proper pattern but it turned out so well that I decided to make it a standard offering, except with a foldover belt loop and with the stitched toe plug as an extra cost option.

Hi,

Craig, I guess I always thought of "flaps" as utilitarian leatherware, perhaps best suited to military use? But that first one you showed for the Cimarron and its friends hit me right between the eyes! VERY nice! Please keep up the good work...
