I've noticed that many holster makers start out with a heavier leather and eventually gravitate to a lighter weight over time. Most of the top makers I know of use a 7/8 oz. leather for their belt holsters instead of the 8/9 or even 9/10 oz. leather that many of the newer makers use. I believe that design, construction, and finishing methods (along with leather choice) play a bigger role in holster quality than the thickness of the leather.
