Leather Pockets

Do you know how much alternations cost for leather pants/skirts?

Hi!
So I got some leather pants that I should make tighter and few inches longer(I bought more so they can have exact same material) and I also have a leather skirt but the back pocket is ripped off a bit, lol..
Do you know what are usual prices and maybe places in Los Angeles to do it?

Thank you so much!

P.S.- it’s not thick leather, it’s really thin and I think any sewer could do it.

Prices are higher for leather alterations than for fabric, no matter how thin it is. I believe it requires a special machine.

Prices also vary from area to area, so I would check with a local leather garment store and ask them where they get alterations done or if they can suggest anywhere. I am just south of you in OC and the price for alterations vary a LOT and remember you do get what you pay for when it comes to that sort of thing.

If someone tells you they can do it cheap with a machine used for textiles and not leather, don’t risk it. The thread has to be stronger than normal and with pants, you don’t want the thread they used to… um… fail you… the first time you wear the pants!!!

What to look for in a Pocket Holster

As more and more people migrate towards CCW carry, pocket holsters are becoming more and more popular as concealment holster.

Used with some common sense, a pocket holster is an excellent method of CCW carry, especially for certain applications. As a matter of fact, it’s become my first choice of CCW carry.

Let’s take a look at pocket holsters and some useful features:

* What is a pocket holster, and what is it designed to do?

* What are pocket holsters made of?

What is a pocket holster, and what is it designed to do?

A pocket holster is a small holster made to carry an equally small weapon in a front pocket, trouser pocket, or jacket pocket.

Well designed pocket holsters should do the following:

* Provide a safe method to carry a weapon in the pocket – Covering the trigger area, not only protects this area during your draw, but it also keeps debris out.
* Conceal the weapon – A properly constructed pocket holster should break-up the outline of the weapon in the pocket, and minimize printing.
* Make the weapon readily accessible – The pocket holster should be wide enough to keep the weapon in an upright, accessible position within the pocket.
* Allow for immediate and deployment- It should allow for quick access, a full firing grip, and quick weapon deployment from the pocket.

What are pocket holsters made of?

Today pocket holsters on the market are usually produced from either:

*Leather – About 80% of all pocket holsters on the market are made from leather. Some manufacturers use a stiff grade leather, while other use a softer style leather. The stiffer leather tends to be thicker in width, which can add to the overall bulk of the holster.

*Nylon – Many of the lower priced pocket holsters are produced from nylon. Personally I don’t feel that nylon isn’t really strong enough for the daily rigors of a pocket holster, and feel that it lacks the rigidity to properly break-up the weapon outline. If you’re on a really tight budget, than nylon pocket holsters are definitely going to be something for you to consider.

*Kydex – As kydex continues to evolve in holster applications, a select few manufacturers are now using it to produce pocket holsters. As kydex is significantly more rigid and stronger than leather or nylon, the kydex pocket holsters tend to be very thin.

Some final thoughts:

Concealability – An absolute must for CCW. Please realize that the level of concealability for pocket holsters will depend greatly on the size of the weapon carried. Pocket holsters are specifically designed for and work best with small handguns. Please be realistic with your concealment expectations. It’s going to be almost impossible to conceal a Glock 19 in a front pocket holster (Although we’ve seen people try). Choose the right size weapon, and pocket carry becomes much simpler. Some popular weapons that we’ve seen conceal well in a pocket holster include:

* Kel-Tec P-32
* S&W J Frames
* Small Kahr models
* Beretta Tomcat
* Colt Pony
* NAA Guardian .380/.32
* AMT Back-up
