This is the first that I have seen them.

I really like the looks of the gunbelt. Very cool....

Well, I've just ordered a bag strap off them, so I'll let you know! I had a leather worker make straps for my previous bags but I wasn't completely happy with them.

Cool. Another vendor for you UK and European folks. Hey, Pyro, should this be updated on the main site redesign?

This site has been around for a while now - it's COW's own Indiana Dudley in fact!

Very reliable - I own one of his bag straps!

He mentioned it in a post a while back, I'm durned if I know which one.

Somewhere in the bowels of COW anyway.

Yup, have one of his bag straps too. Nice guy, good communication & easy to deal with

I have one of there bag straps (w/brass buckle)! Very nice! Very nice indeed! Quality workmanship! Great to deal with! W>

Good description. That's exactly how I feel when I see sites that are almost like 'if you have to ask, you can't afford it anyhow'. I'm sure that's not the case here, as the site appears to be one that's still under construction, but that price thing is a sticky point with me too. I see that all the time with companies like Tandy Leather, but in their case the price is clearly shown, but the item's description is so sketchy, you really have no clue what you're trying to buy.

Hey guys,

Been moving house for the last few weeks, so haven't been doing the daily COW
read of recent.

Thanks for all the good comments here, and I take your point about showing prices outside
Paypal links. Never thought of that "If you have to ask..." angle before, I hope it don't appear
like that....

The site does still have a little work on it that I will catch up on soon, and this will hopefully
include our new custom holster soon....

That's absolutely right.

I've just placed an order for one of those very nice looking whip holders to accompany my new Adam Winrich beaut.

Looking forward to it.

Problem is (as with all these things), now that I've got me an Akubra Fed and fantastic bullwhip, the next logical step is to point my browser towards the Wested boys website...

If my wife ever gets wind of the money this is costing me...

LOL - tell me about it mate. And just wait till you start lusting after the Aldens...

Stop!

Don't tempt me any further

You don't know the power of the dark side.

I've yet to mention the shirt, pants, guns...or props!

One word - remortgage.

I'll try and explore other avenues of financial opportunity before I resign myself to the remortgage!

As far as props go, I've already run up the ol credit cards collecting various Star Wars replicas so I know the dangers.

Actually, as far as Indy goes, I've already looked into sourcing myself the fertility idol but for the moment, I'm focused on the gear.

Those Wested's sure look purty...

You'll be happy to hear that I received my bag strap very quickly and it's great. It is now installed on my MK VII!
