I line almost all my sheaths (unless paid not to line one!) with thin suede and I wetform them. I'll add here that as handguns are very hard to own up here in Canada I've never made a handgun holster.
I soak both the sheath body and separate liner in hot water then I loosely insert the liner into the rough sheath body and wet mold hard around the knife. The two are allowed to dry overnight then the beltloop is sewn on and the liner glued in place.
