The Opposite of Restoration: Leather Craft Weathering and Aging Techniques - Distressed Holster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2023
- In this leather working ASMR video, I'm going back to making an artificially-aged / distressed leather cowboy holster. Think of it as the opposite of restoration: showing some of my antiquing techniques. I have a more detailed video on the same subject from 2019 where I make a cartridge belt.

Every time I begin to think I might know a good bit about leather working, I come across someone who just blows me out of the water. This is ( to me) the most fascinating leather dying I have seen. Thank you soooooo much for your video.
Thanks! Don't forget to check out my earlier video on weather techniques. It goes into more detail.
Brother I've been watching your craft for years. Even being a leathercrafter myself, your work blows me away. That was the most perfect spot of hide to get the side wrinkles in the dye like you did! Amazing work friend!!!!-Jathan
Thanks! You're obviously experienced enough to know THAT is the key: Not every piece of the hide will wrinkle like that. It takes careful study to identify which section to use.
@@RoadAgentLeather spot on sir! Keep putting out the Great content! -Jathan
@RoadAgentLeather is it the shoulder piece?
Great techniques

Fantastic!!
Thanks!
Always look forward for your vids. Thet are great, keep them coming thanks....
Thanks! My day job gets in the way, but trying to keep them consistently coming
Very nice work.
I made my first holster the other day.
It turned out pretty good, for my first attempt.
What Anchor Down said. I too am blown away. I found your channel about a year ago and have binge watched every one. Some several times.
Awesome! And thanks for the subscribe!
Masterpiece ! Unreal !
Thanks for watching AND subscribing!
Truly the leather master. It makes my day anytime you post
Very nice! Thank you for posting!
Came out beautiful.
My day is immediately better
Awesome!
I agree. Your videos are relaxing and instructive, amazingly without only the most necessary talking.
Wonderfully calming video.... beautiful result...Bravo!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video!! 1 suggestion: I learned that when using ox-pho... to blacken hardware before installing it. I blacked the same type of copper rivet on a stock cheek riser I made. I blackened the rivet as an after thought, and when I did that a bit of the blue-ing leeched into the surrounding leather. Now there's a blue-ish stain on the surrounding leather. Its looks a little odd, and not a natural way for the leather to discolor. If its blackened before, then that issue is eliminated. - That's a beautiful holster, as always.
I've done that too. If you watch my previous weathering effects video from 2019 I used Birchwood Casey's Super Blue to corrode a cup of nickel spots.
Nice!
yeah well now there is a new craft ill have to pick up heh thanks so much for sharing awesome work!
Very nice work
Thanks!
BRAVO 👏👏
Beautiful Aged Style Holster For COLT NAVY 👍👍😃😃
Thanks for watching!
Bill Cody would have been proud to haul his wheel gun in that Holster
What a great holster for one of my favorite pistols! The pistol isn't mine, mind you, I just really like that particular firearm.
You continue to impress me with your leather crafting skills!
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful
Just found your channel. I'm retired and looking for a hobby to go along with my passion for shooting sports. It's obvious you have spent years perfecting your craft.
Thanks! It's looking like leatherwork IS my retirement plan!
Excelent, a beautiful pice of art!!!
Nice work as always. 😃😃
I really admire your work. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
My pleasure 😊
That is a great looking holster. Thanks
Amazing work!
Beautiful!
Another badass work if art!
Love it! Great job with the weathering.
Beautiful work
Very relaxing and motivating to watch and fantastic work👍🏽
You make some great holsters sir!
I definitely like the retention strap on this holster. And not gonna lie, you're definitely more skilled than I am, which makes me wonder, WHY ARE YOU SO BAD WITH RIVETS? I suggest a ball-peen hammer and learning how to peen rivets properly. It might take a couple of minutes longer, especially when compared to the machine rivets you use in other videos, but the results are so much prettier.
Simplesmente magnífico seus vídeos. Obrigado.
Very cool! Id like to see your take on a Civil war/block powder era looking extreme example of a slimjim holster.
class my friend we dont have guns like that here in ireland but would love to make the belt and holster i must look into finding a pattern somewhere looking forward to seeing more
Luar Biasa Keren Banget🎉🎉❤❤
💯👍
Oh wow. LMFAO. Absolutely gorgeous.
Awesome video and amazing holster. That said, just found your channel while searching for a leather-working answer. I have a black leather hat that I am trying to age, so it turns to a more grayish hue. Is there a safe way I can accelerate that without ruining the leather?
It would have looked even better with the lining also being weathered. Looks a bit too new. Maybe covering a mock sixgun in heavy dark grease, holstering it a couple dozen times, then trying to clean it? 😀 (Or more seriously, weathering the lining leather to look old and grease/dirt-stained before sewing).
Brilliant! What knife are you using?
I was wondering what you do with all of your craft work? Do you sell it, give it, or keep em?
It turned out really great 👍 👍👍👍. One question. I know you were showing how to age the leather, and you put charcoal on the stitching. Why not just use gray thread. I'm not questioning your method. I'm just asking
To me, it just looks a little more natural to add the grim to the thread afterwards. It also adds the effect to the leather immediately adjacent to the stitch line
@RoadAgentLeather kool. Your work is top-notch
Hello. Excellent work, as always. I wanted to ask you. You did not coat the product with a protective agent. Will paint or antique not stain clothes?
Thanks for watching! I haven't had that issue with the antique paste. Additionally, the un-dyed liner material is what is coming in contact with the wearer's clothing on the inside surface.
When you are darkening the edges and splashing the dye, is it the same color as the base dye or did you darken it a little more?
You are a true artist at your craft. You make it look so easy. Do you have any for sale?😊
Thanks! Unfortunately I'm not able to take custom orders at this time.
OLD Leather Smith here, you do Beautiful work. I have some suggestions, this I use in my shop so I know they work, a BLUSH BRUSH 4 making it look older, U use a machine and hand stitch why not all hand stitch then it would truly be HAND MADE charcoal works better on copper Rivets. I am guessing it's not 4 quick draw because then you would harden the back leather. Suggestions only. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Thanks for watching!
What oz of leather did you us on this project? Some great techniques, now to weather the gun to match.
Typically I'm using 8-9 oz veg-tan leather purchased from Tandy.
You do fantastic work! I am going to be making a holster for a friend of mine and try your technique.
What machine and what type/size thread are you using?
what type oil are you adding to the pot (?) at 08:08? I have the Cowboy 4500
Thanks! It's a Cobra Class 26 running #207 bonded nylon. I use regular sewing machine oil in the thread oiler. I do this pretty much any time I'm sewing through glued leather (which is 90% of the time)
what kind and thickness of leather should I get to make two holsters? Also any good cheap websites for these?
Olá que máquina vc esta usando na costura?
How can I order a holster? I Etsy and messaged you. Thanks a bunch 😊
I was wondering what oz. Leather do you generally use on your holster projects .
if it's going to be lined, I use 7-8 oz for the shell. 2-3 oz milled veg-tan for the liner. If not, 9-10 oz.
Do you put a final finish on this holster or just the Neatsfoot oil at 5:00? What thicknesses of leather for holster and liner?
no finish for this piece. The shell is 7-8 oz veg-tan. The liner 2-3 oz milled veg-tan.
Thanks
Hello, how are you? I want a gun holster. Is it custom made? Is there delivery to countries around the world? How much are the prices?
Hello. Unfortunately, I'm not able to take custom orders at the moment.
I like to submit for a custom order. Do you have availability for a pair of holsters?
Hi! Unfortunately I'm not taking custom orders at the moment.
Understood. I'm Overseas right now till Sept when I DEMOB. Have a list of things I'm buying
2 CZs for example
But I did like that Skull holster you made, like 2 get 2 in brown color.
Can I get on your schedule?. I may be Deployed to Stuttgart.... so it's not immediate but like to plan ahead.
Ahoy can you make a gamblers hat?
Very nice...that would make a great Christmas gift........do you need my name and address 😉
