We've moved! After a 5-month remodel of a very old and crappy building interior, Holstery has a new home in North Idaho. The new shop is roughly twice the size of our old facility, at about 10,000 sq. ft. We added a third CNC machine, and it's where we sew, mold, machine, and assemble the gear on your belt.
Josh (our CEO) was involved every step of the way, because he loves that sort of thing. Here's the before, during, and after.

Before: A Very Old Building
Here's what we started with.
During: A 5-Month Remodel
Josh completely gutted the existing interior. Then he:
- Built a new loft
- Redid the floor
- Added new insulation
- Installed an epic, massive ceiling fan
- Added two bathrooms, an aluminum tumbling room, and a conference room
- Took care of a dozen other things
It was also a great chance to test our own gear on a real build and get ideas for improvements. Nothing beats using your own gear when it comes to design inspiration.
After: Our New Home
The new building is roughly twice the size of our old facility (about 10,000 sq. ft.), and it's much nicer. We added a third CNC machine and keep improving our lean manufacturing processes (kaizen). We also have a garage door big enough for a combine, just in case.
Old Shop vs. New Shop
| Old Facility | New Shop | |
|---|---|---|
| Size | About half the space | About 10,000 sq. ft. |
| CNC machines | Two | Three |
| New in the remodel | N/A | Loft, new floor, insulation, two bathrooms, aluminum tumbling room, conference room |
| Garage door | N/A | Big enough for a combine |
What the New Shop Means for Your Gear
- More of our gear made in house. A third CNC machine means more aluminum Pro backers machined right here.
- Better finishing. A dedicated aluminum tumbling room for cleaner, more consistent metal parts.
- Faster improvements. With lean processes and our own gear tested on the build, we can try ideas and roll out changes quickly.
- The same promise. Every Holstery product is assembled in our Idaho shop and backed by a lifetime repair or replace guarantee.

Great products. Have 4 pieces currently and been using them almost daily for work or my own home renovations. Been about a month.
Couple thoughts to consider. I would think it would be great to have a pouch that had exterior front slots. Similar to the sides on the joey pros. For pens tape or other clips.
Also would be awesome to have a removable or built in divider (2 to 3 compartment) for the big joey pouch pro. Find some of my small tools get barried quickly. Think that would take the whole set up to new heights.
