Description
The Black & Tan 1911 Leather Shoulder Holster System gives 1911 owners a complete leather shoulder-carry setup with a classic two-tone appearance. A black leather harness supports the tan cowhide holster and matching dual magazine carrier, creating a balanced system for carrying a standard-profile 1911 and two spare magazines.
Customers can select a right- or left-hand configuration and choose either a vertical or horizontal holster orientation. The system is Amish made in the USA and constructed for many well-known 1911-pattern handguns.
Complete 1911 Shoulder Holster System
This product includes the main components needed for a traditional shoulder rig:
Adjustable black leather shoulder harness
Tan cowhide 1911 holster
Matching dual magazine carrier
Lower tie-down straps
Metal connecting rings
Adjustable snap positions
The handgun holster sits beneath one arm. The two-pouch magazine carrier rests beneath the opposite arm. This arrangement distributes the equipment across both sides of the harness.
The full system is priced at $154.99.
Firearm, magazines, ammunition, and other accessories shown for scale or demonstration are not included.
Black and Tan Two-Tone Design
The contrast between the black harness and tan leather components gives this shoulder holster system its defining appearance.
The photographs show:

The two-tone design has a traditional Western and field-ready character without looking overly decorative. It keeps the focus on leather construction, practical adjustment points, and the complete shoulder-rig layout.
Vertical or Horizontal Holster Options
Customers can choose between two holster orientations.
Vertical Holster
The vertical configuration positions the handgun in a more upright direction beneath the arm. Some customers prefer this orientation for longer-barreled or full-size 1911-style handguns.
Horizontal Holster
The horizontal configuration carries the handgun across the body beneath the arm. This provides a different draw angle and may feel more natural for customers accustomed to a traditional horizontal shoulder rig.
The exact position will depend on the wearer’s body shape and harness adjustments.
Right- or Left-Hand Draw
This shoulder holster system is available for both draw hands.
Select:
Right Hand
Left Hand
A right-hand system positions the holster for a right-handed draw. A left-hand system reverses the layout for a left-handed draw.
Customers should review their selection carefully before ordering because the holster and magazine-carrier placement are configured according to draw hand.
Adjustable Leather Harness
The black leather harness includes multiple holes and snap positions for adjustment.
These adjustment points allow the shoulder loops and lower straps to be repositioned for the wearer. Because body dimensions and clothing layers vary, customers should expect to spend time setting up the harness before regular use.
The goal is a position that keeps the holster:
Secure beneath the arm
Accessible to the draw hand
High enough to avoid unnecessary movement
Balanced against the magazine carrier
Clear of restrictive clothing
The straps should be secure without causing excessive pressure across the shoulders.
Dual Magazine Carrier
The matching tan carrier contains two separate magazine pouches.
Each pouch has its own retention strap and dark buckle hardware. Carrying the magazines opposite the holster helps organize spare magazines while balancing the rig across the upper body.
Magazine dimensions vary among 1911 manufacturers and capacities. Therefore, customers should confirm that their magazines follow a standard 1911-style profile.

Setting Up the Shoulder Rig
Before using the system:
Confirm that the firearm is completely unloaded.
Select the correct right- or left-hand configuration.
Adjust the shoulder loops evenly.
Position the holster beneath the appropriate arm.
Position the magazine carrier beneath the opposite arm.
Adjust the lower straps to limit unnecessary movement.
Confirm that no strap blocks the trigger area or draw path.
Test movement while wearing normal clothing.
Practice only with an unloaded firearm until familiar with the system.
Shoulder holsters require thoughtful adjustment. A poorly fitted rig may shift, bind, or interfere with a safe draw.
Leather Care
Remove the firearm and magazines before cleaning or conditioning the system.
Wipe ordinary dust away with a soft, dry cloth. If the leather becomes damp, allow it to dry naturally at room temperature.
Do not use:
Hair dryers
Heaters
Open flames
Excessive water
Heavy oil applications
Unapproved stretching methods
Use leather conditioner sparingly. Test it on a hidden section first because conditioners may darken the tan leather.
Inspect the stitching, snaps, straps, rings, and retention components regularly. Discontinue use if any component becomes damaged or excessively loose.
