Winter Holster

Model 457

Custom
So my favorite winter holster finally said "No more!" after ~25ish years. The loops that the belt passes through have stretched to the point I'm afraid one or both will give out any second.

Bianchi discontinued it many moons ago. Hindsight being what it is, I should've bought 3 of the things to last my lifetime. I don't want kydex or leather. I've searched every variation of search terms I can think of and keep coming up with only kydex and leather options.

Does anyone know of a holster manufacturer that still makes something like this?

What is it made of? And the ubiquitous have you looked on Ebay?
I did find the exact same one on EBAY. It is used and from the pictures, it appears to have the very same issue. I'm not sure of the materials. Something leather like with a soft interior. It looks as though a big piece of something much like the fuzzy side of velcro is what actually has the loops cut into it. And that is part of my search problem I think. All of the materials are "like" something but I don't know exactly what the materials are. If I had to guess, I'd say the outside is some kind of thin, soft leather and the inside is something nylon based. I'm starting to think it'll be easier to find a seamstress to sew some new loops onto it.
