This one got killed over on COW because of the "live ebay links" policy. Which doesn't count here because it's a buy it now price! Belt setIt's pleather and will probably not last a very long time, but it's very inexpensive and will do for someone on a tight budget. Heck you could just use it for the hardware! A slight problem is: the words "Costumebay" seem to be embodded in the belt!  Railok's Sith costume came from this guy as did his Han Solo. He makes good low cost stuff. I's steer away from his indy bag and hat. The hat is horrid and the bag is too soft (it's actually stonewashed denim) well it's do in a pinch! |

I saw this link as well. Looks great for a costume piece. Most folks won't wear that set any other time, anyway. It's a good find.

The holster looks like a hybrid betwen the Raider's holser and a classic (LC style) Webley holster.
The hardware on the belt looks ok (except for the embedding) - though the buckle is a little round.
The whipholder looks nice.
Depending on the materials this might be an ok budget buy.

Especially some of our younger fans. I've got my rig from various sources and partly via barter. If I add up all the bits at full price it would have cost about: $215! Of course I didn't pay that much, but it would have if I'd bought everything from vendors "deluxe" ranges. Just for reference a full Noel Howard set in the UK would have cost me around $265 because of the VAT. Of course please dont use any of those as an indication of the prices for your range!  |

That looks great for that price, I don't know what it's made of but it looks great!

I have heard that it's not real leather, but PVC... or vinyl instead. Not sure if that matters to some people though. Great avatar, BTW!  Ken |

Thanks you ^_^. Great solution vinyl, and with the right paint, nobody will know it's fake.

This rig can, by my opinion, be compared with the Dorfman Pacific Official Indy fedora: it can be used as an ok "close enough" at a costume party - but it is neither screen accurate nor will it stand up to any real world use. /Jakob |

So JEEP, when do we get any teaser pics of some of your upcoming leather products? I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got to offer...you will be making holsters, right? I'm sure your stuff must be top notch if Marc was so enthusiastic about branching the AB name out to include your leather gear. -GCR |

Yep - holsters, gunblets, backstraps and whipholders.... I have got no pictures yet I'm sorry - I am still in the design/prototyping phase. I have top men helping me /Jakob |

Yeah, those do sound nice. Jeep, will your holster be able to hold a real gun?

Indeed it will - it will be as much a real holster as the AB is a real hat.
I am thinking about offering the customer the choice of two leathers for the holster: a soft SA one and a stiffer "heavy duty" one.

First off it will only be the Raiders holster - but a ToD and maybe a LC holster will follow along at some point.
The reason for the "maybe" on the LC holster is that it is quite easy to find a good quality copy or original webley holster of that pattern.
The ToD holster was also a webley holster, but of a much rarer pattern.

Sounds cool, Jeep. I can't wait to see the finished product. If I get another holster someday I want to make sure it can hold a real gun and it sounds like I have nothing to worry about with yours. |

I've got one. Yeah, I've had it for a few months, and the belt isn't very good. I really like the holster, though. And the whip holder isn't bad, either.
