Horse leather often has a distinctive grain pattern and is generally even more durable, breathable and water-resistant than cowhide.
In a return to its roots, DeSantis is now offering to custom-make any of its IWB and OWB leather holsters out of horsehide for a $100 upcharge.
We received a horsehide version of the company’s Mini Scabbard (the horsehide Sidestep is pictured here) for evaluation and found the slightly stiffer horse leather to be a natural fit for the minimalist OWB holster.
Available in either brown or black, horsehide holsters will not be sold through dealers; contact DeSantis directly to place an order.
Suggested retail pricing is set at $180; $80 (in cowhide). For more information, visit desantisholster.com.
