Tom, I would suspect athletes foot powder might do the job. If I were in an area that had high humidity I would sew up some bags of crushed charcoal, baking soda or use a commercial dessicant. Mold cannot grow without moisture so keeping them dry is the key.

I bought a wooden tortilla press in Mexico some time back and there were little wood boring worms infesting it. I put it in the oven at about 200 degrees for several hours...No more worms. I would guess one could do the same with a holster if you knew the temperature that would kill the mold but not harm the leather. Jerry Burney
