Hi guys! I'm asking this for a friend to help him get on the right track. He has been making custom leather IWB/OWB holsters reinforced with kydex for friends and family and we keep telling him he needs to sell them but he doesn't think there is a market. He just finished this one for a friend and all the leather has been hand stitched, formed to the gun, kydex reinforcement.
Our question is it a waste of time and $ doing this or is there a market for them and how would a guy get into it? He thinks everyone and their brother is making custom holsters so he doesn't think he has a chance. He charged about $60 for this one and he has several he has made for his 1911 that's lasted about 9yrs and still looks good. I would think this would be a $100 holster.
Any info is welcome.
