Study in Scarlet Ranger Holster (Large A)

Taking its name from the Arthur Conan Doyle classic that first introduced Holmes and Watson to the literary landscape, this collection features gorgeous deep reds, rich browns, and botanical tooled accents in warm grey and just-barely-metallic bronze. The antique copper hardware really sets this collection apart, and adds to the overall warmth of the palette.

This collection is absolutely versatile enough for everyday wear, especially if you tend to lean towards browns or warmer neutrals in your wardrobe, but it’s also a fantastic addition to a steampunk or Dickensian look.

The Ranger Holster

The Ranger is the iconic Krakenwhip pocket holster. Worn over the shoulders like a vest, each pocket side of the holster hangs along the side of the body keeping your things close at hand. Each pocket side is attached to the shoulders with Lobster Claps making it easy to swap the sides of the pocket setups depending on your hand dominance and where you like to keep your stuff. 

The lobster clasps can also be used to adjust the angle of the pockets and enable the wearer to remove the holster quickly and easily without shoulder contortions. Each of our holsters feature 24 weight bearing D-rings, any of which can easily hold a full water bottle. (Though we don’t recommend hanging your water bottle from the pocket flaps; save those ones for lighter, more decorative items to avoid distorting the shape of your pockets.)

Each Ranger comes with one large pocket originally sized for an e-reader (so it definitely holds your phone) while the other side has two smaller pockets which are perfect for card wallets, keys, earbuds, lip balm, and other everyday essentials. Each pocket side also includes a sneaky zipper pocket on the inside for all your sneaky zipper pocket needs. 

***Important Sizing Information***

We make our holsters in four sizes, each of which has three settings so we can accommodate 12 shoulder widths. Use the double snaps in the back to adjust the shoulder width on your holster for the perfect fit. 

There are two main measurements that are relevant to getting the right holster fit; the width of the shoulders, and the distance from the top of your shoulder to the top of the pocket. Please consult our sizing chart for the measurements on each of our standard holster sizes to find the one that fits you best.

We highly recommend also taking the time to “try out” the pocket placement on your body with a measuring tape to get a feel for where the pockets will hang on your body and what it will feel like to access them.
