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. 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.
Ordering
is easy and simple. An unlined holster or tapered gun belt with
18 cartridge loops- one line of edge stamping - $79.95. For
double line stamping that makes an (S) type edge design- $89.95.
Finally for full coverage stamping such as basket weave or
tri-lobe- $99.95. For color stain in tan, brown or black add
$10.00. Final finish can be either natural, semi-gloss, or
gloss, hand rubbed saddle finish. Let us know if you want leg
ties or hammer thongs added. Please include $10.00 for shipping
and handling. There will be additional charge if special
shipping is requested.
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
100 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 6-8 weeks for assembly and
delivery for these custom orders.
