Shoot to Thrill

The Hipster

Whoa. Slow your roll there, cowboy.

It may be high noon, but the only thing you’ll be drawing is lunch money from the ATM. (Yes, even in Texas.)

How to stay true to the ways of the Old West? With the Hipster, a leather holster inspired by the gunslingers of yore and modified to hold a cell phone and a few credit cards. One pull of the secret ribbon in the pocket, and your mobile is immediately at the ready.

They’re available in brown, black, or a combination and are outfitted with a gemstones imbued with special properties: amber for happiness, howlite to increase memory and knowledge, and unakite to get rid of toxic emotions.

Now a belt like this one is sure to generate more than a few stares.

But there’s no need to be afraid.

You, after all, are packing heat.
