Abstract
A holster comprises an elongated tube of fabric formed with longitudinal openings that enable a first part of the tube to serve as a loop for attachment to a waist belt, and a transverse opening that enables a second part of the belt to serve as a pocket of holding an elongated article such as a flashlight. The tube is composed of a woven fabric of fusible yarns. The openings are formed by means of a heated blade, and the heat fuses the yarns at the margins of the openings to one another, thereby preventing fraying.

- and
- a third opening extending in a direction transverse to the direction of elongation of said tube, across a part of the elongated tube, at a third location between said second location and the second of said first and second opposite ends, said third opening having a length, measured in said transverse direction, at least approximately one half of the circumference of said elongated tube at said third location;
