Mounting the Sling | Padding and Stitching

Basic – A single layer of 7-10 oz veg tan leather with a grooved border going around the main area.  No padding, lining, or stitching.

Pros

• Lightweight
• Flexible
• Most economically priced

Cons

• Not as much traction as the suede lining
• Leather may stretch a bit without stitching

Stitched – A single layer of 7-10 oz veg tan leather that’s hand stitched along the border of the main area.  The stitching is mostly for cosmetic reasons, though it does help prevent stretching.

Pros

• Lightweight
• Flexible
• Helps prevent stretching

Cons

• Not as much traction as the suede lining
• No cushion (padding)

Suede Lined – A layer of suede is hand stitched to the back of the leather in the main area (tips of the sling are not lined).
Note: color of the suede is subject to availability.  If you have a preference please make a request.

Pros

• Traction to reduce slipping
• Flexible
• Lightweight

Cons

• Not as much cushion as the padded option

Padded – Our most luxurious option. A layer of foam padding (approximately ⅜” thick) is hand stitched between the leather and suede lining.
Note: color of the suede is subject to availability.  If you have a preference please make a request.

Pros

• The leather sits off the shoulder slightly to prevent it from cutting into the shoulder when worn for long periods of time or if the gun is heavy
• Cushion provides comfort and softness
• Traction to reduce slipping

Cons

• Stiffer/less flexible
• Bulkier
• Slightly more weight
