Old West Gun Belts & Cowboy
Holsters, Bowie Knives, Custom Knife Sheaths, Rifle Scabbards,
Saddle Bags, Ladies Western Gear, and other old west leather
gear. Here at Chisholm's Trail we produce all
our cowboy gear from original pieces or period patterns. Many
items we make are similar to examples found in the National
Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma City, The Gene Autry and
Cody Museums. Others are from the pages of the book "Packing
Iron", "Tombstone - The Guns and Gear", and
similar great collections of the American Cowboy.
Chisholm's
Trail Old West Leather can directly trace its roots to Jesse
Chisholm who blazed the first famous cattle trail North out of
Texas. A.K. Soellner, who is a descendant of Jesse, has visited
many of the old leather & saddle shops in the West and has
learned "Sheridan Carving" from K.C. Krueger and some
of the other current masters. He learned leather working skills
from John O'Rourke of Hartsell, Alabama who is one of the best
leather crafters extant. Volumes of valuable advice have also
been graciously shared by Will Ghormley, one authentic
craftsman. Alan has recently been personally trained by the
world famous John Bianchi, Holster Maker to most western movie
stars from John Wayne to the present day. Donna grew up in
Peabody, Mass., the town called Tannery City. Her father made
his living by tanning leather and her mother colored leather for
the Kirsten and later the Lawrence Leather Company.

Please enjoy looking over the
photos on this site. Notice the various types of edge stamping,
holster and belt designs so you have an idea if what you might
want when you call. You may "click" on any photo to
view an enlarged photo. Our special focus is on clean neat even
stitching and smooth finished edges. You can call and leave a
message any time, but we are available most evenings. Saturday
we will be in the shop working on your holster and gun belt. We
believe in the personal touch and will enjoy discussing any new
project or design with you. If we have not made it before we
will make it anyway. I've lost count, but I know we have over
150 different patterns for the Old West gear we make and are
adding new ones each week. I hope you will enjoy owning one of
these contemporary originals as much as we do making them. If
your order is other than what we have in stock, then it will be
a special order. Please allow 8-10 weeks for assembly and
delivery for these custom orders.
