Need a fact check guys. Was told today but a holster maker that black isn't a good idea for IWB because sweat penetrates the leather and will begin to cause deterioration in it after a while. They also mentioned that the sweat can cause the black dye to stain clothing. For this particular get'up I'm planning, I'd been thinking of of a black rig, so what do you think, does this sound right? Any of you having problems with black leather holsters worn IWB? They also said that a plain oil finish protects the leather from sweat.

If I end up getting this SA Micro, I'd probably try to get the dark version that's done up in Army Kote and I just think it would look sharp in black leather.

Thanks

Thanks for the input. I'm a bit puzzled though becasue this came from a source that I believe is a high end holster maker known to many on this board. I don't want to bad mouth anyone though so I'll let it go at that and maybe talk to them again.

Thanks all

Gideon
