The Deluxe Thoroughbred Holster is the most comfortable IWB Tuckable holster we offer. This is a major upgrade from the original A-1 Thoroughbred Holster. The deluxe thoroughbred holster comes with a suede backing to add comfort against the body. We don’t stop there; we add memory foam like material embedded inside the suede backing to add a cushion to your body. So if you are leaning against your weapon, then it will feel like memory foam pillow against your side. People are sometimes turned away by the initial size of this holster. But actually this holster only adds 1/8 of an inch (plus the gun’s width) to your pants. The NEW Deluxe Thoroughbred Holster is now slimmer than the original A-1 Thoroughbred Holster.
Functionally of the deluxe thoroughbred is amazing and like no other holster. Conceals very nicely, wraps the body and distributes the weight of the firearm, thus giving the ability to carry a much larger frame gun. While being comfortable for all day wear and still having a smaller profile. The combat cut, as given on the original A-1 Thoroughbred is an additional $6.00 as for the new Deluxe Thoroughbred holster the option is given and FREE (check out FAQ page for more info regarding combat cut).
The Deluxe Thoroughbred holster offers the most protection from sharp edges, safety, slide locks, and beaver tails. Not only does it protect you from the gun, it also protects the gun from the salts and sweat from your skin (body oils). Comes with two powder coated spring steel holster clips that are adjustable for ride height. There are 3 holes 1 inch apart on each side of the holster to allow you to adjust the cant and ride height of your holster. For a better and faster draw!
There is many options that you can choose from to attach the holster to your pants or belt. Options like: tuckable leather straps with a metal grade directional snap, tuckable spring steel powdered coated metal clips and lastly our new Ulticlip3.
The Deluxe Thoroughbred has a reinforced mouth piece for easy re-holstering. We use heavy nylon thread to help reduce against dry rotten, tearing or snagging like cotton thread. With this holster you have the option to choose your thread color and holster color.
The holster clips can fit up to 1-1/2 gun belt (2 layer) or 1-3/4 regular belt (1 layer).
This is no doubt the holster of choice to be wearing IWB!
NOTE: DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR GEAR IS ADJUSTABLE THREAD LOCKER IS NOT APPLIED DURING THE PRODUCTION PHASE. PLEASE ARRANGE YOUR GEAR HOWEVER YOU AND YOUR APPLICATION DESIRE AND APPLY A BLUE THREAD LOCKER TO YOUR HARDWARE. LOST HARDWARE WILL BE REPLACED AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE.
Don’t forget to upgrade your holster clips to the New and Improved Ulticlip3 and Ulticlip XL . Check them out!

I bought one of these and loved it so much I immediately ordered another for a different gun. This is the most comfortable IWB that I own. It looks so great out the package I almost hated to use it. Top notch quality and excellent craftsmanship. The only drawback is the order time but it’s worth the wait.

I ordered a holster for my Walther q5 match. I didn’t realize that the steel frame gun was different from the polymer gun. When the holster arrived the steel frame didn’t fit in the holster that was fabricated for the polymer gun
Customer service had me return the holster and they made me a brand new holster that fit the steel frame. I only had to pay $10 for shipping.
In todays world of dwindling customer service, I’d say that MTR goes above and beyond the call of duty

You delivered me a LEFT handed holster when RIGHT handed was clearly displayed in the order. How in the world does that happen after you wait for 14 weeks to get the holster. IF I get a reply, how much longer to the correct holster?!
MTR Custom Leather (store manager) –
We are very sorry for the mistake on sending you the wrong shooting hand holster. I have already sent you a prepaid shipping label back through email. You will receive a brand new holster within one week of the returned holster with also a special gift for your inconvenience.

Excellent workmanship and material. I’ve used this holster for 2 years so far and it is holding up very well! I appreciate that MTR was able to accommodate my px4 compact with a armalaser. I will be a repeat customer!
thanks!!!

Comfort is a priority for me and this holster is comfortable enough to wear all day and easy to draw even from the seated position. It’s also an exact fit for my Kimber.
This is my second Thoroughbred holster. I have one for my Glock 30, which I’ve used for a year now.
It keeps the firearm close and concealed meaning no worries when in public.

BEAUTIFUL holster…such a shame to hide it IWB! Only thing I’d change is maybe a 2nd screw on each belt loop to keep it from twisting around while sliding the belt on & off. Yes, I know it has snaps…but if my belt is already off, why mess with them? Still a solid 5/5, though…so comfortable I forget I have it on, and makes my full-size 1911 disappear.

Perfection. Solid craftsmanship. 200% worth the wait. ✋ ✔ it out!

First custom holster I’ve ever ordered due to nothing being available for a 3″ Smith, and only after hours of research between companies. Glad I chose correctly. Most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn and I carry every day often working long hours, nothing has ever come close even with my much lighter weight firearms. Will be ordering again soon this time a holster for a light bearing glock. Only downside I could say will be the 3 month wait, and it’s obvious why.

It is a great holster, but for one thing, I wish it did a better job of covering the beaver tail on my p365xl. When moving a lot it can move and begin digging in. Slightly more leather there would make all the difference in the world.
MTR Custom Leather (store manager) –
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment. I am sorry that the holster’s sweat shield does not cover the full beaver tail on your Sig Sauer P365XL. This is something that can be easily done. If you would please contact our sales@mtrcustomleather.com team and we will be more than glad to assist you with this issue and get this fixed for you. We want you to have the most comfortable holster for your everyday carry.

Item ordered: Deluxe Thoroughbred Holster (A-1+)
The holster arrived ahead of the estimated schedule, and that was quite pleasing. While the lead time seems long, the holsters are hand-made, so it is to be expected.
The unboxing went well, and the inner packaging that contained the actual holster also had care instructions. Although these are available on the website, it’s a thoughtful inclusion. The holster itself was quite beautiful, and the fit and finish are top-notch. No dangling thread ends, no parts even slightly out of alignment; indeed, I would rate the craftsmanship as exceptional, and I am totally satisfied with my purchase.
The holster fit my sidearm like a glove, and while it is a very snug fit, in my case I did not need to do any work to finalize the fit. While the thumb-break strap did need a bit of encouragement the first time, even that required almost no effort. I opted for the UltiClip XL to secure the holster on my belt, and once you snap them into place, that holster is not going to move. If you didn’t get it exactly where you wanted it, you have to unlock the clips in order to slide it forward or back. Once you get it in the right place, it’ll stay there.
In conclusion, while these are not the cheapest on the market, nor the quickest to get delivered, you do get exactly what you’re paying for. High-quality, hand-made custom-fitted leather holsters, made with thick and solid pieces of leather that will last for years and years. Comfortable and secure, and well worth the time and money.
5/5, would buy again.
