I prefer leather myself. I have a Rosen 1.25" tapered belt, ARG, and SOS for my 1991A1, and after 7 or 8 years of almost daily wear in hot & humid SC, the rig still functions as well as it did after it was newly broken in.
Having said that, I've found another leather supplier that I like. Check out Tucker Leather.
My wife gave me a Kimber Ultra Ten II for our 25th anniversary back in November, and I contacted Rosen to see if he would make either an ARG Slim or a Workman for the gun. The answer was yes, but I would need to send him my gun for 3 to 4 months, and the price would have been $500 since it would be the first made for this particular model of firearm. He also would require a %50 deposit, which was puzzling to me seeing as how he would have my new $850 gun in hand before he could even begin. So, I went exploring, and found Tucker.
I placed an order for the Cover-up model, and specified that I wanted both a 1.25" and 1.5" belt clip supplied. The holster was $65, the extra clip $4, and the shipping was $5. I received them less than a week after I placed the order. I've been wearing it for the past couple of days, and so far, I like it a LOT. It remains to be seen how it will stand up to sweat this summer. I hope it does well, 'cause I really like the style and the way it rides.
For those of you who can't decide between leather or Kydex, look at Tucker's The Answer holster, a combination of both materials. If the Cover-up doesn't hold up under sweat, I may go with The Answer for summer wear and use the Cover-up only in winter.
