ACRYLIC TEMPLATE | RIO GRANDE WESTERN HOLSTER TEMPLATE | PATTERNS FOR LEATHERCRAFT

The Rio Grande is a classic double Mexican loop style holster pattern.

Holster Template cut from 1/8 inch clear quality cast Acrylic - sturdy, durable and very easy to use with a metal scratch awl, pen or even a blade. Our acrylic holster patterns are ideal for leathercrafters with intermediate experience.

This is the exact same holster template that we use every day in our shop: designed and cut by Hellhound Leather Co.

Holster intended to be crafted with at least a 10oz weight leather. Hellhound Leather Co crafts this holster with a 10oz full grain veg tan and a 2oz full grain veg tan lining. This holster pattern is sized to include a 10 oz welt ½” wide along the back edge. The holster pattern can be used for holsters without a welt, but may result in a slightly different fit.
