    Would Appreciate Your Feedback On New Holster Color Combination

    Trying some new USA light tan leather and would appreciate your feedback on the color in combination with some bison leather accent?
    Would like to know if the light tan appeals to you? and do you like the 3 bison leather contrasting trim with the light tan leather?
    Thank you for your help.

    Peanut and Chocolate look good.

      Personally I don’t care for the tan. I do like the chocolate & PB bison colors, but not as trim.

      I think holsters done in the bison colors would look great - is bison leather heavy enough to make a holster?

        Light Tan With Peanut Bison Trim would be my choice. I also like the way the trim matches the grips on that particular revolver.

          I think the Tan is too light for my taste. Will it darken over time due to aging and body oils? I think the white stitching is too much of a contrast, however, some people might like the contrast stitching.

          1. Treat all guns as if loaded (even when you know they aren't).
          2. Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy.
          3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
          4. Know your target and what is beyond it (avoid all collateral damage).

              On the tan leather stitching, match it to the color of the bison leather accent.

                My personal preference would be the middle one but only because the color of the leather trim matches almost perfectly to the reddish brown color of the wood grip / stock.

                They both even have a grain / figured pattern running through them.

                But as someone else mentioned I don't like the look of the white stitching compared to where the parts that you've done it in a darker color.

                White is just going to get dirty if it's used anyway, and it's probably not going to be an even dirt so darker thread seems like the smarter move.

                Just my two cents.

                I also think they all look a million times better than most people could do. Keep up the good work.

                  That "tan" looks more like baby poop. Wouldn't buy it.

                    Thank You to everyone for the feedback.
                    Probably will not end up offering the light tan color. Will try the light tan with some dark brown thread and see if that works better.

                    Here is chocolate tan with peanut trim. Will try a couple of samples with darker thread in both chocolate and dark chocolate with a couple different thread colors.

                    Thanks again for the help.

                      white snitching throws it all off.

                        I agree, chocolate with peanut trim. With darker stitching would be perfect!

                          I think you should wait before eliminating the light tan all together. You could experiment with stitching and trim. Just because a few people here don't like it shouldn't be your deciding factor. I've seen various shades of light colored holsters from other companies so there must be a market for them.

                            Would go for the light tan and tan trim but not with white stitching. Would prefer a dark stitch.

                              Excellent feedback, it is very helpful.
                              Thank you

                              Going to build some holsters with the dark brown stitching next week and see how they turn out.
