Hey Everybody!
Before I get started, Happy Holidays to you all.
So my father is a leather artisan and pedorthist, and as such has plenty of hardware to create pretty much whatever I can think up. I bought an Izula for my brother's Christmas present, but apparently that was a bad idea (according to the rest of the family) , and I ended up getting him something else. I'm not arguing with that, and the good news is I've got a brand spanking new Izula! I like the sheath that it comes with, but I'd like to give a shot at making my own kydex sheath for probably a concealed carry. I've noticed plenty of people have done this, but I think I can do better, as my father has a vacuum press, which he uses for plastics in his customer's footwear. However, I'm not exactly sure where to go from here. What should I be aiming to do, what should it look like etc. etc. So I'm here to ask you all, any ideas?
Below you will find my mod for horizontal/scout carry of the hest. I was inspired by (I believe) tarditi's nylon webbing mod. I tried that, but the nylon ended up stretching on me, ending with a bite. Boot leather doesn't stretch like the nylon I had, and has been working amazingly well since.

Oh, and here is my Izula, for reference.
