# London Jacks' Holster

{% hint style="success" %}
**Recommended Product**
{% endhint %}

London Jacks Leather is run by John Feeney who is [a member of The Guild of Master Craftsmen](https://www.findacraftsman.com/listing/london-jacks-leather). This is an extremely good looking holster made by a knowledgable fan of the Dollars trilogy and its price is reflective of it's quality. It features a more worn and darker appearance than most other holsters thanks to his oil treatments.

> This is my version of the movie gun rig as worn by Clint Eastwood in the classic Sergio Leone ‘Spaghetti Westerns’ of the 1960s A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and, The Good the Bad and The Ugly.
>
> These films had an enormous impact when I first watched them back in the 1970s and it has long been an ambition to build this Rig, of course there are no patterns available, and I have studied screen shots and pictures of the originals to develop my own patterns, and figure out the techniques needed to add the steel plate lining.
>
> Clint Eastwoods gun rig was specially made by Andy Anderson of Hollywood, who designed the original Western Walk n Draw rig that revolutionized the popular sport of fast Draw in the 1960s.
>
> Clint ordered a ruff out belt and holster with a straight draw, as apposed to the standard forward cant holster.
>
> The belt and holster are two pieces of steer hide laminated and stitched together, it then gets an oil finish to bring out the contrasting colour of the leather.
>
> The belt has a recess to allow the holster to firmly locate on to the belt. It has 30 sewn loops for 45LC cartridges.
>
> The decorative gunfighter stitching detail was another trademark feature of the Andy Anderson gun-belts.
>
> The holster throat, shank and curved hip plate have a steel lining, like the original, this gives a very solid structure to the holster.
>
> The solid brass buckle has a hammered finish.
>
> The holster is made for the Colt SA Revolver 5 1/2”, although it will take a Navy Pistol, as shown in the pictures here, in the GBU film the gun used was a modified 38 cartridge Navy Pistol, and these are still available from Cimarron firearms.
>
> If you have a hip measurement of over 44” please contact me before purchasing as the rough out shoulders I use for this belt have a limited width.
>
> This rig is made to order. (6–8 weeks)

> The darker colour is achieved by applying pure Neatsfoot oil, the more coats the darker the finish, it leaves no residue and soaks in evenly overnight. - **John Feeney**

> The leather I use is English pit tanned bull hide. - **John Feeney**
