: I have two whip holders, one from Borden's, Boots, and Leather and one from Noel Howard at M.B.A. Costumes. The Noel Howard whip holder is considerably longer than Borden's, about 14 inches altogether. The Borden's whip holder is about 11 1/2 inches long. They're both fine except the Noel Howard whip holder is made of stronger leather and is doubled over on the buttons. Any whip holder shorter than 11 1/2 inches or longer than 14 inches, in my opinion, just wouldn't work.

: Noel Howard is a delight to do business with and his product is top of the line, so if you give up on making your own, Noel Howard is the way to go.

Thanks for the feedback!

It's funny - I sat down and tried to figure out how long the strip of leather had to be, and it came to at least 11 inches, and preferably 14.5. I plan to get some strap leather from a local saddlery. I bought the leather for by bag strap from them, and had no problems making it using some Chicago screws. The whole thing cost $6. I figure the whip holder ought to be about $3-$4.

Again, thanks for the help!
