Leather/ kydex holster

[Cudruln]

So I have been rocking a @Theis Holsters for a couple years now. It is leather backed with kydex outer style holster. It is great wearing, very comfortable and secure holster. I have yet to have any major issues with it.

But I have always had one little thing that drives me nuts. A very slight squeak from where the metal belt clip rubs the leather. When it first started I would put a little oil on it to keep it "lubricated". Well lately it has not been lasting as long.

So what do you use to help keep the leather smooth and squeak free? Any tips and tricks?

Could you put a washer of some sort between the leather and the clip?

Rubber spacer washer... never tried it, but might work.

It is at the top of the metal clip, not where it screws to the metal. I will get a pic of it tomorrow

I had the same issue. I used candle wax on the leather and it stops the squeaking. I had to do it about every week or so though.

I picked up some leather conditioner today. Going to start applying it and hopefully it will help out some.
