brown duty gear

[jlw]

Last year to coincide with the season debut of Longmire, I authorized "Longmire Days". Each shift was allowed to wear jeans, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat with their uniform shirt. It was a big hit with the county and with some of the personnel.

Recently, we sent a bunch of guys to Texas to escort donated supplies, and they stayed out there for a week to help a Sheriff's Office. They all came back with hats.

We'e adopted Fridays as "hat and boots" day, and now we're looking for some brown leather duty gear for those who have brown boots. Right now, its the CID crew, the patrol commander, and me, but I'm not going to leave out the rest of the crew if they want to participate.

Any suggestions for providers would be appreciated.

I know TDCJ inmates used to make leather duty gear for officers. Not sure if they still do but The stuff I saw done by them looked good.


Are the cowboy days optional? I used to have a cowboy hat as part of my uniform, it drove me insane.

For years, we wore cordovan leather. Finding decent designs in this color was a nightmare. The only folks who consistently delivered were A.E. Nelson. They even did custom holsters for my 5" P220, with and without WML.

I think Tex Shoemaker also does the brown duty gear.

I'm not seeing much I like in the way of available holsters. I do have an email into a vendor we ordered from several years ago to see if their design is available.

It may be cheaper for everyone to go out and buy black boots.

That's pretty cool. It's stuff like that that can make the day to day grind more tolerable.

Are Winchester 94s also authorized?

The first policy that I wrote as Chief was to authorize leverguns as patrol rifles.

I've used several of their holsters, which are sturdy, good quality equipment. After examining their website, call and talk with them. They are in Laredo, Tx.

Don’t some of the California SOs still use brown duty gear? That might be a lead, see who they authorize.
