If my Dad could still get hide it could have been the case. That was the last of good thick hide he managed to get. $180 of leather then the hours cutting, stamping, drilling, stitching & dyeing. Have a matching hand sewn bandoleer as well. From the old Western Action days just shy of 20 years ago that rig made its name. Was a dab hand if do say so myself. But a pistol calibre rifle let me down beyond 100 yards..
And I rarely spell shearling as shealing anymore..

I can see why the fellow wearing the heavy coat has that "WTF are they thinking?" look on his face.
