Crap. You had to show it to me didn't you? That is a really nice Wharncliff shape.
Tell Ban hi for me.

Nice! That's going to be a sweet combo. (just a little thread drift here... but knives will do that)

I am so glad this was brought back up. Recently aiwb has been uncomfortable. This may be the answer

Dear fellow AIWB (aka "junk") carriers,
I have finally put together some illustrated instructions for my Junk Carry Pillow (JCP), as seen in the JMCK thread and elsewhere. A few notes before I get into the details: 1) I use this device to cushion my AIWB holsters, which are carried at 12:30, and ride between junk and thigh (not over the leg at 1:00). 2) Comfort is one reason I use a cushion, but it also ensures that the muzzle is pointed away from my body. I'll leave it up to you to decide if this device might be a good idea for you; if you shoot your dick off it's not my fault. 3) I am not very good at sewing, and won't make one of these for anyone so don't ask.
Components:
Multicam NyCo ripstop fabric
Hook velcro (use two long strips side by side for more flexibility to conform to holster).
Sticky loop velcro
Instructions:
Cut enough sticky velcro to cover lower inside of holster. Round off corners with scissors. Clean holster twice with rubbing alcohol, and heat gently with a hair dryer. Then apply sticky velcro, making sure to cover the part that rubs on your inner thigh.
Cut cloth into a 12" x 4" strip (or 12 x 3 if you want a narrower pillow).
Sew on two strips of hook velcro making sure total width is no greater than your loop strip on the holster. Note in the pictures below how the velcro goes on one side of the strip, but leaves room for the wide "bellows" described below. The gap between the hook velcro makes the pillow conform to the holster better than one big strip.
Bonus for cutting the thread with your Ban Tang Clinch Pick.
Now, work on the inside of the cloth.
Sew off top edges to prevent unravelling.
Fold cloth in half, and make a "bellows" at the bottom.
Sew the four edges of the bellows at 45 degrees.
Sew the sides of the cloth to make a pocket with the bellows at the end. Stop at the bellows. Don't sew into it.
Turn the pocket right side out and check dimensions. If you suck at sewing like me, you'll probably have to redo it.
If it looks good, sew the sides and the bellows a second time so it doesn't come apart in the washing machine. You may want to taper the side stitches toward the mouth of the pocket.
Stuff the pocket with polyfill to make a pillow. Try it on the holster, and test it in your pants using an unloaded gun.
When it's right, close the top with a single line of stitches. (You may want to open it again after the stuffing compresses.)
Add a vertical line of stitches between the velcro strips to keep the polyfill down at the bottom of the JCP where it belongs.
Good job dude! Your JCP is done.

This needs to be stickied while I sweet-talk my wife into doing some sewing.
