John is an elite, exceptional leather craftsman. And like many leather craftsman, he is niche oriented and very particular about style and what he will and will not do.
He will do fancy, but not Hollywood style gun rigs. I am good with this. I'd rather work with a specialized niche than a jack of all trades type gun rig maker.
The quality of the products are superb. I have been in his shop, I have handled and sampled many of his items. Very traditional looking and feeling. And his prices beat everyone else's (at same or similar quality).
His carved leather products (don't own, but have seen) are amazing and his prices on these items are unmatched.
I wished I lived on a ranch or in the outdoors as I would own a couple items. Great stuff.
Most of the time, I prefer my rigs to be more on the competition / Hollywood side. John's stuff is more practical, more maintainable, adjustable and more suited for the field. If I could go back to the late 1800's or live on a ranch, John's rigs would be my go to.
