Thick or thin leather?
I have posted this on another forum, but there are some great holster makers and experienced users here so I want the best opinions I can get.
Leather thick or thin better?
I once thought thick leather was better, but in time I have changed to the thinking that thinner is better especially for IWB. Of course it has to hold its shape and not go soft soon. There is a thread on another forum re one maker' holsters and one complaint is that the holster was thin.
I recall the first time I saw a Sparks ExC I thought the leather was too thin, and rejected it. It is now my favorite IWB holster. I do have some thicker IWB holsters but they do not compare with the ExC.
In line with that I have seen a couple of post re Alex Nossar's holsters. It has been said that his are the thinnest seen, and he has an excellent reputation. He uses both cow and horse hide I think. Does thin mean cheap to some?
So what is the thinking of holster makers or very experienced guys who have in fact tried enough thick and thin holsters to have a considered opinion.
Regards, and thanks.
