Cartridge Money Belt:
This is the belt that spawned an entirely new type of frontier
holster. Prior to the introduction of this type of belt
in the mid to late 1870s, western holsters were made primarily
in the California or "Slim Jim" pattern. Slim
Jim holsters had a sewn-on belt loop that had to be made to fit
a specific belt width to function optimally. Along comes
the Cartridge Money Belt and frontier holster design changed
radically. The generic variety of the Mexican Loop Holster
was made with an integral loop (usually two loops) that the pouch
fit into creating a large loop between the integral back skirt
and the pouch, providing enough space for up to a five inch wide
belt. Since gun leather was not usually acquired in matched
sets, the Mexican Loop Holster would fit any of the Cartridge
Money Belts a cowboy could lay his hand on. The usefulness
of this belt design becomes obvious when one considers that fact
that cowboys didn’t have wallets or for that matter they had very
few pockets in which to securely keep valuables. Take a look
at some of the old photographs and you will find that some of these
belts were extremely wide.

Sheridan Carved Dress Belt:
You supply the buckle or ask us to find that special buckle. We can get
gold, silver, or just about any other type of buckle you might want. This
belt speaks volumes about your good taste in western garb. You definitely wont
be accused of being "all hat and no cattle" in this beauty. However,
if you need that special hat to go with this belt, I encourage you to contact my pals
at www.brims-and-trims.com.
