New Item>>>>Paddle & Screw Hardware Replacement
What is a paddle holster? A paddle holster is a way of securing your handgun using a flat-concave-shaped piece of plastic with a thin piece silicone backing for grip and comfort.
A paddle holster has several advantages and the number one advantage to this type of holster is being able to remove your firearm and holster quickly from your body without having to undo your belt.
How To Wear A Paddle Holster
Some people wonder how to wear a paddle holster. The paddle holster uses friction on the paddle to keep it securely attached to your clothing’s waist. A paddle holster doesn’t require the use of a belt which makes it compatible with many different styles of clothing however the clothing must be tight or the waistbands must have very little wiggle room.
Sometimes it’s best to wear clothes that are slightly larger and loose than your normal clothing to help with concealment. Another important aspect to consider with a paddle holster is the fit of the firearm you will be carrying.
A paddle holster is especially helpful for people that get in and out of cars constantly.
Plastic Paddle can be an alternative for a paddle attachment on a Low-Rider Holster (Swan) (C-1)
Also can be an replacement option for all of our Paddle holsters and Sentinel Holster replacement.
***Check your current holster to see if it has wide hole or narrow hole spacing, so we know which belt loop to send you to fit on your current holster. Example pictures are in the product gallery of the hole spacing. If you are unsure, then send us a picture of the back of your holster through our Live Chat button or email at sales@mtrcustomleather.com.

How to Dye Leather
Learning How to Dye Leather is easy
4 tips on how to dye leather
- Choosing a leather dye
- Benefits of using oil leather dye
- Setting up your leather dye workspace
- Methods for dyeing leather
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
Sometimes our first thought is, oh no dying leather is going to be expensive or make a mess. No, it does not have to be that way!
Now! Let’s find out how to dye leather!
1. Choosing a leather dye
There are many kinds of leather dye out there. Chuck says, “Go straight to Oil Dye.” It is his favorite leather dye! See why Chuck favors oil leather dye below.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
2. Benefits of using oil leather dye:
DIP DYE
We can dip dye leather using oil leather dye. Dip dying leather is very fast, clean and consistent.
RICH COLORS
When we are looking at leather dyes, one of the qualities we want is rich color. Oil Leather Dye provides rich and beautiful colors. We capture beautiful reds, greens, and a full selection of browns when using oil leather dye.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
COLOR CONSISTENCY
Another feature we are looking for when dying leather is color consistency. The color consistency as it spans across your leather project is excellent when you are using oil leather dye.
PLIABLE LEATHER
We do not want the leather to be stiff after dying it. Oil leather dye allows the leather to feel pliable just like it did before it was dyed.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
LEATHER DYE NOT RUBBING OFF
Last but most important is, that we don’t want our dye rubbing off. We must understand that there is no perfect sealant to dye. The best pair of Italian shoes on a rainy day will bleed but this process will get us so close that leather color bleeding is almost negligible.
3. Setting up your leather dye workspace
SUPPLIES NEEDED
Not all of us have the luxury of a big worktable or a big shop to work on our leather projects. Sometimes we are working on the kitchen table, the card table or the coffee table.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
PLASTIC GARBAGE BAG
First thing is to put down a plastic bag perhaps like a folded white garbage bag. We won’t be throwing this bag away regularly but using it to roll up the other supplies so we can sit it aside when we are finished and easily unroll it when we want to dye leather again.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
CARDBOARD OR WRAPPING PAPER NEEDED
Secondly, the plastic bag may get wet, slippery and pool with dye so we don’t want our leather project getting spotted when we flip it over, therefore we need to have some inexpensive paper laid down on the plastic bag. Wrapping paper or cardboard works nicely.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
RUBBER GLOVES
Now we add rubber gloves for the simple reason of preventing our hands from getting dye on them.
LIDDED CONTAINER
Put our oil leather dye into a lidded container that will accommodate our project so that it may be dipped and slid through the dye.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
4. Methods for dying leather
AIRBRUSHING
There are several ways to dye leather. We can use an airbrush which is the top notch best way to go. However, most people don’t have air compressors, air brushes or the room to do airbrushing.
DAUBERS
Daubers are a great way to dye leather and they will hold a lot of leather dye. If we have ever used foam brushes after putting them into the leather dye we know how they dribble all the way to your project. Well, a dauber will not drip like that. Daubers are made of lamb’s wool, are disposable and keep your hand away from the dye.
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
DIP DYE
We can dip dye because we are using oil leather dye. We don’t have to worry about the leather getting stiff or the colors going dark.
HOW TO DIP DYE LEATHER
- Because most leather projects have a little hole in them somewhere we can make little hooks out of wire coat hangers or bailing wire and use them for dip dying leather. If we don’t have a hole in the project we can dip dye with our fingers making sure we put on rubber gloves first.
- By putting the hook in the hole and lowering the leather down into the container of oil dye we can dip the project in the dye and smoothly coat the leather. No need to go real fast or slow just a steady pace.
- When we pull the leather up and out of the dye container with the hook still in the hole we can tap the leather on the side of the container to knock off excess leather dye.
- After that, just lay the leather project on the paper above the plastic with the back side down and let it dry.
- After it dries we will topcoat it. The topcoat adds life to the piece. See our video on Top Coats Here!
BUY SUPPLIES HERE> https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=mtrcl
Once we start working with dyes a world of possibilities will open to us. There are dyes, stains and antiques and particularly oil dyes that give us such rich colors that we can take every leather project to the next level.

Different Types Of Belt Buckles: Which One Is Right For You?
Different Types Of Belt Buckles: Which One Is Right For You?
Greetings, buckle enthusiasts!
From the humble prong buckle to the flashy western-style trophy buckle, these little accessories can make a big statement about your personality and style.
Belt buckles are more than just a functional accessory to hold up your pants. They can be a fashion statement, a symbol of achievement, or simply a way to express your individuality.
Whether you’re a cowboy or a city slicker, there’s a buckle out there that’s just right for you. In this article, we’ll explore some of the different types of belt buckles and what makes them unique.
Let’s get started.
HEEL BAR BUCKLES – THE CLASSIC CHOICE
The heel bar buckle is one of the most common types of belt buckles and for good reason. The bar runs across the heel of the buckle, and when you use one of these, you’re going to need to add a loop or a “belt keeper.”
That’s going to hold down the tongue of the belt or the strap. Weaver Leather Supply sells all manner of pre-made keepers, including decorative, metal, and veg tan. For veg tan, if you dye the project, you can dye the keeper so it will be a perfect match.
There is an unlimited variety of heel bar buckles in terms of fashion, western, period, basic, utility, sizes, colors, and finishes. You can buy the buckle first and then design the belt around the buckle design. It’s a classic choice that never goes out of style.
CENTER BAR BUCKLES – THE BUILT-IN KEEPER
A center bar buckle is another popular choice that doesn’t require a separate belt keeper.
The bar goes right across the center so you don’t need a keeper because the buckle is the keeper. You can also have a two-pronged center bar so all you have to do is punch two oblong holes. This type of buckle is great for a clean, minimalist look.
TROPHY BUCKLES – FLASHY & FASHION-FORWARD
If you’re looking for a more statement piece, then the trophy buckle is a great option. You don’t need an oblong or even a keeper for this buckle. It’s a popular choice for sports teams, rodeo riders, and other organizations that want to show off their accomplishments. You can get a trophy buckle with your name, logo, or design engraved on it.
There’s nothing wrong with making it personal!
BUCKLE SETS – MULTIPLE BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS
Weaver Leather Supply has multiple, beautiful buckle sets with many different designs. They can be customized to match your style and preferences. Buckle sets typically include a buckle, a keeper, and a tip. Some sets also include conchos or other decorative elements.
These sets are a great option for those who want a coordinated look from top to bottom. Is that you?
CONWAY BUCKLES – AN UNDERAPPRECIATED GEM
You don’t see Conway buckles often, but they have great benefits. You don’t need a keeper, oblong, screws, or snaps. All you need is a line of holes. If you have a strap that needs to be adjusted from time to time or you want to bring two straps together, this is a perfect choice.
It’s different to master the movement on this buckle, but once you do, you’ll appreciate the simplicity and versatility.
TIME TO SECURE THE BUCKLE
Let’s talk about the most underrated and often overlooked part of a belt – the buckle. Buckles are the unsung heroes that keep your pants up and add a touch of personality to your outfit. But, did you know there are different ways to secure your buckle? Here are some highly efficient ways to make your belt stand out.
- THE RIVET – Heavy-Duty HeroesIf you want a secure buckle that can withstand any adventure, rivets are your heroes. Double cap rivets, 104 tubular rivets, and solid copper or solid brass rivets and burrs make great options. Check out our full selection to add just the right touch to your project. Not only do they look great, but they’re also durable and easy to set.
- LINE 24 SNAP – The Buckle SwapperIf you like to change your buckle often, the line 24 snap is the perfect option for you. It’s good for 7-8 ounce or 8-9 ounce leather and comes in multiple finishes. Swap out your buckle to match your outfit without any hassle.
- LINE 20 SNAP – The Lightweight ChampIf you have a lighter leather belt, the line 20 snap is the way to go. It’s perfect for a 4-5 ounce or 5-6 ounce leather and comes in multiple finishes. Keep it simple and secure with this lightweight champ.
- CHICAGO SCREW – The Strong and Easy OptionIf you want a buckle that’s strong and easy to swap out, the Chicago screw is your go-to option. It’s a threaded rivet with two big benefits.First, it’s easy to install and remove, so you can change your buckle with ease. Second, it’s strong enough to use on high-stress points on your leather belt. Weaver Leather Supply even adds a slot for an Allen wrench on this rivet to make installation a breeze.
SEWING – THE BELT STRENGTHENER
If you’re looking to add some extra strength to your belt, sewing is a great option. However, traditional production belts are sewn across the belt, which can weaken the belt’s strength. Instead, sew along the edges of the belt to maintain its strength. If you’re using a heel bar buckle, you’ll need to add a keeper, which can become tedious with multiple stitch lines. If you’re not feeling up to sewing or securing your buckle with rivets or snaps, a simple knot can add personality to your belt. Get creative with different knots to add some flair to your outfit.
BUCKLE UP AND GET STARTED!
Adding a new buckle to your leatherwork project is an excellent way to personalize and elevate your creation. Whether you opt for a heel bar or center bar buckle, a trophy buckle, or a Conway buckle, each option offers a unique look and functionality. Don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with your leatherworking projects. Ultimately, the best belt buckle is the one that fits your design and style preferences.
Fortunately, there are endless possibilities!
