The apocalypse is coming.....

or at least the dress rehearsal!!

Wasteland Weekend is coming up in less than 90 days, and I bet you need some leather gear to help you survive!

If you're a Mad Max fan, check out these two holsters for your Hudson gun...
















This holster is a replica of the screen version from Mad Max I. It's based off of tons of high definition screen shots, and is the most accurate replica out there!

















This is a replica holster from Mad Max Road Warrior. It was also based off of dozens of high def screenshots.


If you're in need of some non-Mad Max post-apocalypse gear how about...
















Steakmpunk Wooden Bullet Cuff
















Nikita's Rig.. The drop down holster portion of this rig can be modified to accommodate any firearm you want.























Mare's Leg Holster.. This holster is designed to fit a cut down 1892 Winchester rifle made famous by Steve McQueen and Zoe from Firefly.


All of these products are available on my Etsy page and would be the perfect finishing touch for your Wasteland Weekend costume!

Mare's Leg Hoslter

If you own or are planning to own a Rossi Ranch Hand cut down 1892 rifle, then you need to take a look at Magnolia Leather Works' Mare's Leg Holster!

















This skeleton holster will fit your Rossi Ranch Hand like a glove, and comes with 16 bullet loops in the caliber size of your choice. This holster is the accessory of choice for Steve McQueen in Wanted: Dead or Alive and Zoe in the TV series Firefly and motion picture Serenity and is available in tan, med brown (pictured), saddle tan, mahogany, and black and comes pre-weathered. The holster lists for $250 + shipping and is available at www.magnolialeatherworks.com or www.magnolialeatherworks.etsy.com.

If that price is too steep for you, I have designed an economy version that does not have a "built in" belt. This version has loops through which you feed your own belt, and comes with 4 bullet loops. The economy version runs at $85 + shipping.

**Sneak Peek** Mad Max Shoulder Holster

***UPDATE***

Thanks to all who have weighed in on the design of this holster. Based off of your feedback, it's (painfully) obvious that the design of this holster does not cut the mustard...and that's not what Magnolia Leather Works is all about! I'm taking this product back to the drawing board to match up the design to the high def screenshots I have available.

I hope to have a much improved version available shortly. Thanks again to all who voiced their concern over the design of this product! Please know I take your concerns to heart and will work dilligently to ensure I am offering products that live up to your expectations!!

I am going to leave the pics of the current prototype up to document the progression of this design and so that anyone who wants to offer critiques and criticism may do so. Please feel free to leave your commentary (positive or negative) below. I appreciate any feedback I can get.

Thanks for your patience!!

Mad Max, Birth of a Road Warrior.....holster

I recently had the pleasure of creating a custom holster based off the hoslter worn by "Max" in "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior." I also had the pleasure of working with a Mad Max fan who supplied a plethora of screen captures from just about every angle, and who suggested I document the process of how the holster was created. Well....here goes!

The "un-photographable" portion of the project is in creating the pattern. Thanks again to my Mad Max fan who so gratiously mailed me his remake of Max's shotgun, I was able trace the outline of the gun, and then based off of the screen shots, create a pattern that captured the lines and curves of the original holster.

Now for some images!

All leather goods start out like this...just a big roll of once upon a time cow.

To get the pieces you need, you take your pattern which has been put on tracing paper, and put that on top of the dampened leather. Take a pen and get to tracing.

This is a picture of the raw pieces of leather which have had pieces punched out where rivets will be.

Next you stain the leather, and set the rivets. Note, the first and last rivets also hold the thigh straps in place, so they are not yet set in this picture.

Now the fun part. Weathering. I won't give you all my secrets, but suffice it to say it can be a bit theraputic!

And here is the finished product. Check out MLW's Etsy shop to purchase your Road Warrior Holster!

Special thanks again to my Mad Max Fan who was so helful in the development of this holster!
