Leather or Nylon?

[michiganstud]

Regular vehicle patrol: Safariland high gloss (PATENT leather).

Bike patrol: Bianchi accumold nylon.

I like my leather better as far as looks. I like the nylon because of comfort. The leather seems to be more durable and seems to hold your weapons more securely.

I don't have a choice, like RP said, you wear what they give you.

My last department issued leather. It has to be worn if you are wearing the class A uniform. You can buy your own nylon and use it when wearing the class B & C uniform.
The nylon was much lighter than the learther, but like michiganstud said the leather looks better.

Tell me about it. We used to wear leather, now we're wearing this imitation Bianchi Accomold pleather crap....

We have a choice of nylon or basketweave. IMHO the leather looks more professional and lasts much longer.

jeffyc.... when you get your leathers, put some Kiwi Leather Dye on each piece, let it dry for a day... then put a light coat of Kiwi parade gloss on it and buff with your shoe brush.... nothing looks as nice as good polished leather gear.....unless you wear white shirts..then only use the leather dye, no polish.

Ok, thanks.....i wear black shirts, so i will do that.....thanks for the suggestions and opinions everyone.
