Our Old Trading Post brand Gun Leather is second to none. All pieces are made to order and all pieces are made with period authenticity in mind. This style of Holster is called the "Mexican Loop" holster, the design most likely came from northern Mexico or the American Southwest in the Post Civil War Era. While maintaining the general lines of the California pattern holster--with a slender, contoured main seam, recurved throat and trigger guard area--this new arrangement differed in that it consisted of a single piece of leather that formed the scabbard, backing and retaining loops The Mexican Loop design features the traditional holster portion sewn shut vertically. However, the top, back side of this pouch is not cut off--rather, it has been pattern-cut to form a skirt backing, then folded over and down horizontally behind itself. This forms both a belt loop and a skirt between the body of the wearer and the holster itself. The backing has two or more slots cut into it (depending on design and length) through which the scabbard portion is passed, creating skirt loops that hold the body of the holster to the skirt backing. This design created a wide upper loop through which the cartridge belt could pass, securing the holster firmly in place, while the skirt loops helped to keeps the pouch portion from riding up when drawing the weapon.
