Here's a few shots of a new Slim Jim rig I just finished. Pictured with my 5½" 1860. Holster is a right hand crossdraw for a 5½" 1851/1860/1861. The medium brown came out a lot darker than "medium" but it's a really nice, rich color. Belt is 2½" and has some neck wrinkles towards the buckle that I think give it a nice character. It has a big brass buckle that I aged to match the 1/4" metal spots. Held in place with #12 copper rivets. Everything is border stamped and there are a few antique pewter conchos scattered about. Member "kbbailey" is soon to be the proud new owner of this rig and I hope he likes it. He granted me some artistic license and I really like how the double groove and brass spots turned out. I love the oval conchos and thought that three spaced along the belt's length was just right. The star concho that kbbailey picked out for the holster is perfect. I think it turned out really nice and would be proud to wear it myself if I didn't need another few inches of belt.
