Mongo Maverick 1 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) I’m just getting started into CAS, and a great friend of my gifted me a belt and set of holsters. They are amazing but I need to do a little work to them to get them to work for me. Does anybody know of a good leather worker in the Colorado Springs or Denver area? Thanks!

Still hand Bill 100 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 There is a guy in Peyton area that does amazing work. I have seen his work at local gun shows when we used to have them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I need to move the buckle a little bit and if possible dye the whole rig black. It’s a brown color now, but the color is messed up from where the holsters used to sit, but then they got moved on the belt, so the coloring is off. I was hoping to have the work done before the end of the month. I’m heading out of town Nov 1 and was hoping to be able to take it with me.

Grizzly Dave 942 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Mongo - Best I know in Colorado is Slick Bald. He does mainly high end rigs and does more teaching now a days as far as I know. Not sure if he'd be interested in doing revisions to an existing rig or not. If you'd like, I can reach out to him and pass along your contact info. He's in Longmont. There is also a fairly talented amateur leather crafter in the Denver area that might be able to help you out. I won't name him here as I don't know that he's openly looking for leather work, but again, I can send out a feeler on your behalf if you'd like. PM me if interested. Grizz.. PS - hope to see you out at Pawnee Station some time soon. Bit of a drive from the springs, but I think it would be worth the effort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
