Hi

Just want to share my new Budget Holster from Todd...I tried out for a blend between Raiders distressed and real life distressed..well actually more Raiders then real life..I wanted it to look like it has been on some adventures :D
to get it in this brown color like you see in Raiders I used two different leather dyes..

what do you think?

Very good. I especially like the touch you did with that curl on the clasp.

thanks.I used a pocket knife.sandpaper and a steelwool sponge..

after sanding the hole thing hard down I dyed it in two shades to match the screen look.after it dried I reworked the distressing and beating,sanding and abusing the clasp
