Exotics:
All the exotics we use are purchased legally. They come pre-dyed and the colors and texture can vary from hide to hide. Our prices for adding exotics to any of our items depends on the price we have to pay for the hide and the difficulty in working with it. Some exotics are easier to work with than others.
We mostly work with shark, elephant, ostrich leg and gator belly. We try to keep a few colors in stock of each type. If you are interested in a color that I do not have in stock I may be willing to order it depending on availability and the size of your order. Contact us for more information regarding prices and availability of exotics.

This is an older video we are leaving up so you can get a closer look at some of the exotics we use. We may not always have these colors in stock and the colors can vary from hide to hide. Please call or email with questions.
Examples of My Work In Exotics:
Note: All of my full front exotic holsters include a smooth leather lined interior. Exotics not only look good but also make very durable gear. Elephant is very tough and abrasion resistant. Shark is also very durable and abrasion resistant but is less expensive than elephant. Ostrich leg is tough but these hides are generally pretty small and I normally use them more for trim. Some small items such as pocket holsters or smaller belt style holsters can be done in full front ostrich leg coverage. We also sometimes work with gator belly which is beautiful and durable as well.
My full front exotic belts are normally a little thinner than my standard gun belts. They consist of a layer of exotic mated to a 8 oz. strip of cowhide with an internal stiffener sewn in between. They look nice and also provide a good sturdy foundation for your gear. Your belt size and the size of the exotic hide I have available will depict whether I can make a full front exotic belt for you. For a less expensive option or if I do not have a long enough hide available our standard belts can be trimmed in exotic.
