Sneak peek at the new XXL Cell Holster I’ve been working on!

https://crawdadleather.etsy.com

I’ve had several folks asking about a holster big enough to handle some of these BIG phones with a battery pack/case on them, so I figured I better build one! 😂

I’ve been playing around with a few prototypes and I think I’m finally getting it where I want it. Just need to finish up a photo shoot and get the listings put together, and then these will be ready to go.

The XXL will handle phones up to 3.5” wide and 1” thick, so this thing has some room!

I’m going to offer it in my usual Kodiak soft leather, and I’m also going to have it in this new veg tan Montana leather.

The one in these pictures is the Montana. I really like how this leather is turning out on this holster.

If you’ve been waiting on a holster for one of those big ol’ phone and battery pack setups, let me know. I may be able to get one in your hands before I do the big release. 👍

Just finished putting a new zipper on this one for Jeff — a piece I made for him a few years back.

A little neatsfoot oil, some good old Dr. Jackson’s leather conditioner, and a good old-fashioned buffing, and this thing looks better than ever.

This thing has seen many gigs in its life, and all those years of use have given it some incredible character. The scratches, wear, and patina are what make it special.

Here’s to many more gigs and many more years of making memories with it! 🤎

Just finished this custom leather v**e holster for an Etsy customer — I’m really happy with how it turned out!
This one features a dual-carry system, giving the customer the option of using either a traditional belt loop or the included belt clip for added versatility. The customer requested red stitching, and I have to admit — the bright red thread against the black oil-tanned leather looks fantastic!
Sewn on the machine with clean, strong lines and built to last for everyday carry.
Bold red stitching or classic black-on-black? Which would you choose? Let me know in the comments!
