6 months in the making. Our biggest release yet.

Meet your Trenchmate. The light-bearing, optic-ready holster built for the modern carrier.

The Combat Crocodile edition sets itself apart as the First-Ever Exotic Light-Bearing Leather Holster. The inlaid topper is crafted from premium cowhide with custom crocodile plating, each scale hand-finished for lifelike depth and texture. It’s the same performance-driven design, elevated with a striking look. 

The universal optic channel provides full clearance for every red dot on the market, keeping your sight protected and your draw snag-free.

Our integrated retention system locks your light-equipped firearm into place with precision. Snug enough to hold, smooth enough to draw, and shielding your light. Dial it to your desired balance of retention and speed.

Its contoured design keeps your firearm close and orients the grip flush to your body, making your draw natural and instinctive while remaining more comfortable than any other leather holster.

And at the core, the same craftsmanship Hunter has stood by since 1952: full-grain American steerhide, handcrafted and built to last for generations.

Engineered to Disappear

The contoured design of the Trenchmate rides close, distributes weight evenly, and positions your grip where your hand naturally wants it. Even a fully-loaded steel 1911 feels balanced and effortless, sitting tight to your body without digging in.

20% Thicker Leather: A Difference You Can Feel

20% Thicker Leather: A Difference You Can Feel

Our 9-10 oz leather cut is 20% thicker than the 6-7 oz industry norm, offering a difference you can truly feel. This added thickness means it's more durable, lasts longer, and simply feels better in your hands. We don’t compromise with thinner leather; our holsters are built to stand the test of time and elevate your daily experience.

The Old-Fashioned Way of Holster Making

The Old-Fashioned Way of Holster Making

We craft our holsters the old-fashioned way— by hand, using techniques that outfitted legends like John Wayne. In an era dominated by mass manufacturing machinery, our handcrafted approach distinguishes every holster as a masterpiece of leatherwork. With decades of experience, our craftsmen can ensure a level of detail and durability that machines can't match. 

Made in America Since 1952

Rooted in over 70 years of tradition, The Hunter Company continues to produce the finest leather holsters right in the heart of Colorado. Our commitment to American craftsmanship and agriculture isn't just about national pride—it guarantees a holster made with care and precision that's only possible from generations of expertise.
