Looking for a custom Zippo holster...
« on: December 17, 2014, 07:38:29 am »
...Constructed out of what is known as 'ballistic nylon' fabric.  Everything else I carry on the left side of my belt - cell phone, knife, flashlight - is carried in a BN holster, and I would hate to break up the look.

I did search on Google, but I must be hitting the wrong key words.  Anybody know where I can get this?

    You can't find one, because apparently they don't make them in Ballistic Nylon.  Here's a link to Zippo's online store: http://www.zippo.com/category.aspx?id=1223

    Yes, I know.  Hence the title of the OP was 'custom' Zippo holster.  I do not want a leather one, and especially not with the huge 'Zippo' lettering.

    Yep. ;)  They had exactly *1* in stock, and I snapped it up.

    Hint, hint...
    You know if a certain custom  holster fella around here would make these in leather with his logo, I'd bet they would sell...

    They probably would.  I have nothing against leather, I just want to keep all of the crap on the left side of my belt consistent.  The tool on my right side rides in leather, but you can't see that one. ;)

    They used to call that a wedgie but now I think its just referred to as "conflicted " .   ;)

    Bet I could guess it's there with your matching luggage utility belt on the left, though.
