Cruzer Jango holster orders

I was one
I'll PM you Michelle's measurements tonight

Yeah, I already had you down as one.

I'm one as well. Let me know what measurements you need, as all I can think of right now is my waist size. ( 32" )

I had called. I'm definetly in for one!

I would love to be one of those 5...if possible.

I was one of the people. PM sent

Thanks
Jeremiah

I was one, PM coming later tonight.

Well I had contacted you a couple of times in pms, but it looks like I would put you over the 5 maximum. I hope I can get on the list. I will pm you.

Well, slave1pilot kinda' doesn't count (I owe him from a hyperfirm gun trade & he's a friend)...so you're in!

PM coming soon to everyone.
Thanks

Sweet! Thanks Cruzer.

Dangit. Missed the boat.

Looks like I did too!

Jaster, You and I can cry about it together!

I know I PM'd you about a holster and you said to try at the beginning of the month. For now I have to pass, so if I had a spot you can pass it to someone else.

Cruzer, Let me know if you need an official hole puncher, trimmer, gluer....whatever. I suspect you'll get a lot of interest. If you get a big list I can come help ya out and do simple stuff that can't be messed up.

I'm always afraid it's not up to your high standards (Cruzerness).

Don't be messin up my holsters newbie!!

I was actually thinking it be good to have you down after I have a pull from the gauntlet molds so we can see how they look on a 6'+ tall person while in costume.

It'sThatGuy, I had actually counted you in.
Jaster TK-1508, I'll let you know if a spot opens up. Plus, how many orders I can take on has a lot to do with how many pieces I can get out of the leather pieces I buy. So let me check my leather allowances.

Updated first post with interest list.

thanks guys

Sounds bueno to me. I don't know if they'll fit based on the measurements, but I'd be happy to give it a shot. Let me know when your ready. I'm off on Sun/Mon

Please add me to the next waiting list.

just for the holsters.

not the whole rig

Erm... how come my name didn't make it onto the final list?

Sorry Jango72. I knew you were very interested from past PMs. However, I must have misread your current PMs and thought you weren't ready right now. I added you to the list due to it being my error and am sending you the ordering info via PM that I sent to everyone else on the list.

how much are you asking for your holsters?
thanks

They run $225 shipped in the U.S., and are custom made to three of your dimensions for a perfect fit upon receipt. Currently, I am in the process of making two new molds with a few slight modifications for improved accuracy. I'm hoping to speed up the fabrication process and get orders out faster.
Thanks for the question.

Cruzer's holsters are AWESOME!! I love mine, and think I'll go home and check 'em out again...

I know you didn't need a shameless plug...

I would be interested in a set if / when you do another run.

Cheers

Please let us know when you do decide to do a second or third run.

yes...sent you a pm, if that isnt gonna work please put me on a list for another run!

Hey Cruzer. Got any sweet in progress pictures for us to drool over? Nothing like seeing a master at work.

Cruzer - could you please add Dgasser to the wait list?

His been wanting a set of your holsters for over 2 years now.

member?

Nah, guys, nothing to show. Right now I'm only finding a small amount of time to do this hobby during the weekends. I've puchased all the leather and hardware, and am still working on the new holster molds (which I hope to have finished this weekend). However, I've been so busy with work, family, and my son's new football schedule that I've considered the possibility of issuing refunds and calling off the run.

I'm trying to not let anyone down, but if there's anyone on the run list that this time frame just isn't working out for, please let me know and I'd be more than happy to refund your money and have one less holster assembly to worry about.

Thanks

Don't worry about it Cruzer. I still want a set, but there is no real rush for me. I don't think I will be getting my Jango gear done for Halloween any way. I really hope you don't call off the run as I am eager to have a set of your holsters, but I understand if you decide to do so. For my set you can take as much time as you need. Thanks.

No worries about the run, it's just off to a slow start mostly due to the actual making of the holster molds taking some time. Once the new molds are finished by this weekend, then production can go twice as fast as previous runs. This weekend I'll also be cutting up all the leather. So, I estimate the first of the holsters assemblies starting to ship within 2 weeks.

I'm still in on the run Cruz. I understand the busy schedule. Whenever they get done, they get done. Myself, I work fulltime along with my wife, we two have kids in elementary school, both my wife and myself go to college part-time, plus I am a peewee football coach, with both our kids playing sports. Then I get home with 10 PM's over at CT.net about people wanting me to make things for them. You are not alone in all this crazyness, it is a balancing act for sure.

Ok guys. Got a bunch of work done on the holsters this weekend, so progress is going good. The new holster shape looks really good, and I did something different with the d-ring holder piece which makes the design more accurate. I'll post some progress pics tonight. I expect the first 3-4 assemblies to ship by this weekend. I do have enough leather left over for 2 more assemblies if there are any interested members.

Thanks,
Cruzer

Great news! Thanks for the update!

I'd still ike to be in on this run Cruzer, especially seeing as I've got a money order on route to you know.

I'd love to have a set if you still have a place.

Cheers

Tony

A few progress pics. This pair will belong to slave1pilot after a little bit of weathering, affixing everything to a belt, and adding the post hardware. California just recently passed a law banning all alcohol based leather stains, so I still have to get used to the color results of the new Eco-Flo line of water based stains carried by Tandy. After a little bit of testing, I realized it takes three different color applications just to get a finish similar to Seeker's ammo belts. The color below isn't that, but is one application of Java Brown. The d-ring holders are spray painted with Rustoleum Aluminum.

Enjoy

looks bueno.

Looking awesome Cruzer! The new holster mold looks great. That stinks about having to use the water based stains. I guess everything is going that direction though. It looks like you have figured out a good color combo to make it work. Thanks for the pics.

Beautiful!

They are beautiful, a marvelous work of art. :thumbup

Wow Cruzer! Those look great! I'd like to watch you make a set some day, haha. I'm interested in how you get such perfect shapes every time.

Everything looks great! I'm drooling knowing some of that fine leatherwork will be in my hands shortly.

Lorenzo,
since this setup is for Michelle's Custom , don't worry about making it an accurate shade.
You can send it how it is.
She'll be more than happy with it.

Nice!! i want a set!!

they look awesome Cruzer!

very nice..i would love to get in on any future runs

I actually enjoy making these (somewhat theraputic) so I'd be up for a second run after I finish this one by next week. However, I'd need at least 4-5 interested members due to the amount of leather I have to purchase. If there's enough interest, I'll start a second run list in the original post.

Slave1pilot, that's the final color. It's darker brown in person, but the flash...

Nice!! i want a set!!

...you have a set already!

Here's a comparison pic of the V3 design on the left and the new shape on the right. Both holsters are the same length but just look different due to the one on the right not being level with the other. The slight changes I made are in the nose, and narrower shaft and top opening. I think they make them a little more accurate, but give me any feedback you have if you see something I need to change.



Thanks,
Cruzer

please add Dgasser for a whole rig set and me for just the new holsters painted. I like your new dye coloring.

yes i do want the new set. remember i screw up the old set.

I see armor................you suiting up again??? We're doing an event in Visalia on Saturday.

Looking good. I like the changes. Color looks good too.

Beautiful Leather Work!! The best Jango holster rig out there with out a doubt.

What is the secret of securing the front and back of the holster? I don't see any stitching; did you use the blind stitch technique in the Tandy Hand sewing leather manual?

Alan

...a what stitch?...I'm just an amatuer...I just glue them!

thanks

That works to. If you are interested I'll see if I can find my copy and scan that section for you?

:thumbupBeautiful work as always.:thumbup

Alan

i would be interested in a rig

a few pics

One of those is mine, isn't it?

They look superb.

Those look totally awesome!!! The matching of the ammo pouch is unbelieveable. Thanks for all your efforts!!



TK-1191

ItsThatGuy, the middle one in the combo pics, and the third pic down from the top are all pics of yours.
The one next your your ammo pouch is yours, tk-1191.

Thanks, and glad to hear that from the pics they look like they'll work for you guys.

cheers

please add me to the just holster rig painted up with the leg strap.



thank you.

The pictures look great! You did a great job on the stain colors.

Thanks guys.
Here are some teaser pics for FettFanatic, and Steelblitz (in pieces). Both will ship out on Monday.

TK0363 & TK4426, I start on yours tomorrow.

They look great! I can see it's gonna be one of those weeks where I call home to the wife and ask her twice a day if I got a package delivered.

Cruzer you just made my day better. Now I just have to be patient and wait for my precious to come to me.

Brilliant news Cruzer!
I'm really looking forward to receiving my set.

I got my holsters on Friday! THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!

I put them on over my jeans and was wearing them around the house. My wife and I were about to leave and she looked at me and said "You are not wearing those out of the house!" I tottaly forgot I even had them on!

ItsThatGuy, if I'm not mistaken, I sent those out on Thursday, so that was a really fast delivery! Glad to hear they met your approval once arriving. It always takes longer than I estimate to get them to members because I like to take my time when making holster assemblies. But it's only because I've noticed that when I start rushing things, I start sacrificing quality. So sorry for the delay, but I'm glad you're happy with them. Did they fit correctly right out of the box? Waist size varies the fit a tad, but that can be countered by adjusting the post locations up or down.

FettFanatic & Steelblitz, yours went out earlier today via USPS Priority, so hopefully you'll see something by Wednesday or Thursday.

Thanks guys.

They fit perfect! I've lost 22 lbs since I placed my order - so they were a little loose - If I had on the whole costume it wouldn't need any adjustment at all...

Again PERFECT!!!!

Lorenzo,
Mine were waiting for me when I got home from work
Very nice indeed.
I'll get Michelle to try them on when she gets home.

Mine were waiting for me today as well. Absoutely beautiful. I had to put them on even with my suit and tie on. They fit my blasters PERFECTLY!! Thanks again Cruizer!!!






TK-1191

Michelle tried them on & they fit perfectly.
Thanx again Homie.

so lorenzo...when do you plan on doing more? Gawd I need you to make me so much stuff...LOL

oops...just saw your new list...and im on it..whoo hoo...do we need to send you some measurments, ect?

Cruzer you doing bolos too?

No, but only because I'm having a problem finding a good source for close to accurate bolo cord material. There are a few suppliers of 4-ply cord made with natural tan hide, but they're not the accurate diameter. TK-1191 suggested one online store that I need to order a sample from, so we'll see.

Let me know if you find some, I would be interested in a girth belt from you (if you still plan to make them).

Same Here! And I probably wanna get one of your holster set ups too : P

Please put me down for a set if possible

man it's tough being in such demand lorenzo...thats what happens when you make quality stuff dude!

Look at that second run interest list fill... Must be nice to have a steady stream of Potential customers!

I've been dragging through online suppliers, ill let ya know if I run into any place that sells the Bolos

Thanks guys. Yeah, I think I need to teach my 10 year old son and 2 year old daughter to make holsters for daddy! Especially when I got guys like txfett and Seeker wanting me to play XBOX Live all the time.

Steelblitz & FettFanatic, I tracked your packages a few minutes ago and it looks like you'll both be receiving them today.

I got my holsters today. I can't describe how beautiful they are. I just stared at them for a little while. You did an amazing job matching the Seeker ammo belt I have. I can't say thank you enough for making these for me. It really is the piece that has helped bring my Jango all together. Thanks again.

Got it today also. The fit and finish on them is beautiful. Worthy of holding real firearms. (hmmm, that gives me an idea for a picture)

Alright, I'm a bad person for taking this picture, but the holsters are worthy, even if the pistols don't fit.

ha...is that the punisher meets jango?

I have to admit - I did the same with my beretta!

i noticed the glock in one holster and the colt in the other...hence the punisher comment! hehe

Hey Cruzer, How goes mine?

I promise, they are worth the wait!!!

BTW - 3 week vacation...?!? lucky!!

and around xmas time too...im sensing some serious senority in his workplace..LOL

At least you don't have to worry about him shipping them to some other member first for fitting!

Thanks ItsThatGuy, glad you like em.
