You have to provide the material and he can sew it in as an overlayer. It adds weight to it, and he is very selective on what parts of the clothing that he pulls material from. Some areas are more elastic than others and he wants to be sure the overlay material doesn't restrict the ability for the seat to stretch as it should. Most all pants have a few areas he can pull from though. It's an expensive addition but if you've got some old busted pants he could likely make something useful out of them.
Very nice. You did the wolf skin right? I think I remember seeing a post about it.

That's awesome. What attracted you to the wolf skin? And do you care to elaborate on the features you're talking about? I know he's done some pretty interesting things on folks saddles with special requests. That's what I love so much about it. Once you have an idea of what you want, it's a great investment to make with that kind of customization available.
@SETXsportsman6 I'm curious about that belt, that looks awesome. The saddles I have been using the last couple years I mod them with a battle belt. I like being able to carry all I need on my saddle and having it in hands reach in a pouch. Every saddle I've owned( and I've owned alot) cannot handle the weight without sagging. This saddle looks beefed up in the waist belt, is it? And if so was that a request or do they come like that? I was already taking notes to get Matt to build me one next year.This one is mine

So since I've had this one, I haven't loaded it up with a bunch of stuff. I actually just attached my pouches, kydex hooks, etc to the molle today. Before my plan was to carry everything either daisy chained or in my pack because I like my profile to be as tight as possible.
I feel like availability will come in time. Right now he's just a one man operation with a full time job and a family, and building saddles is his side job. I think he's got a great thing going right now, and I could only imagine the kind of innovation we could see coming from him if he had less time building saddles and more time to perfect the design.
Thank you. It definitely looks like it could carry alot with no problem. I was noticing that top row of molle, the black part, it definitely looks stiffer. I actually have a pouch that I had Matt make during the summer that was extra large, I carry my linesman,tether,and 5 squirrel steps in, I have a cheap Amazon dump pouch in the rear with a Doyles, and 2 silent approach dump pouches on my right side, one has my release and rangefinder, wicked tree saw and EZ kut clippers and milkweed, and the next closest to my bridge loop has about 12 carbon bolts and 4 grade 8 bolts, treehopper mini and a cranford bow hanger. Right now I'm running the Phantom and it does ok without the battle belt but not like I want it to, I definitely want to get with Matt to build what I need. Thanks for your help.
The top black molle is definitely stiffer. I believe it's actually something like seat belt webbing that is folded a certain way then stitched in place. They're pretty rigid. They're also the perfect size to receive a Doyle's hunting hoist.
