Handgun Holster “Bed Glove”

Handgun Holster “Bed Glove”

Here’s something really different and practical. This “Handgun Holster” was made for a friend of mine. She lives alone and likes to keep a bit of protection in the bedside table drawer. Late at night, groggy as we all probably are, a holster and snap is not something you want to mess with (nor a box, or having it loose to move around) when you hear something go “bump” in the night. This piece is made with an oil tanned 4-5oz. brown leather side (very soft and supply). It is lined with short-hair sheepskin (feels much better late at night when you reach into something soft and cozy to get your “protection”). This item can be made...

Leather EDC Set

Leather EDC Set

Leather EDC Set, who doesn’t need EDC (Every Day Carry) pouches to carry the sundry of stuff that you need every day? I am going to do this post a bit differently than most. The set pictured was commissioned by a gentleman in Plymouth, England that operates a professional plumbing and heating company in the UK. Why no air conditioning you ask? You have to live there to understand (I did, for 3 years and it’s beautiful, but not hot). The client needed a set of pouches to carry his Wiha bit driver set, the wallet; his HDS 250 flashlight (called a torch in the UK), the taller sleeve; and his Bose bluetooth headset, the small belt pouch. Sounds like EDC to me!...

Mini Tablet Portfolio

Mini Tablet Portfolio

Just finished, a mini tablet portfolio! This piece was designed for a customer in Virginia to hold an iPad Mini, a Moleskine Cahier notebook, an iPhone 5, assorted pens/pencils, reading glasses, and s small set of business cards. In addition it has a gusseted flap on the back to hold up to 3 loaded letter size file folders. All of this an its only 1″ thick! (depending on just how you stuff it of course).  The design elements are similar to the “Ultimate iPad Case” by Dragonthorn  Leathersworks which includes top quality leather, sueded lining and no extras to increase its bulk. This particular case is made of 3-4oz. oil tanned leather with orange stitching (nice touch I...

Stingray Wallet

Stingray Wallet

Custom Stingray Wallet you ask? Coming right up, err…. in a short bit… I have worked with a lot of tough leathers and difficult projects but I have to say finishing this wallet for a recent customer strained the both of us. The design and the manufacture of the pure cow leather bits was not difficult. Determining exactly how I was going to stitch this baby was not. Stingray skin is actually made up of a hard calcareous material that is more like armor than skin or scales. A regular knife will not easily cut it, nor are your scissors happy if you use them. I ended up using a pair of shop shears for the rough cut and my belt sander to get the edges straight....

Leather Belt Bag

Leather Belt Bag

This leather belt bag is a clone of a “Herz” belt bag made in Japan. The customer wanted a Herz bag style but made in the USA (God Bless him). I took the basic design and added additional closure size options. The bag is made from medium weight, medium brown oil tanned leather. The fittings are all brass and the closures are a small Sam Brown Stud. The bag itself is approximately 5″ wide by 6″5″ tall by 1.5″ thick when empty. It contains two pockets which are stitched and riveted together for strength. The belt loops are secured to the bag with two 1″ brass rings and can be unfastened for easy attachment to your belt. The...

Cell Phone Belt Case

Cell Phone Belt Case

Cell Phone Belt Case by Dragonthorn. I carry this one personally as a prototype and love it so much that I am opening it up to custom orders. I carry a pretty high end phone (Nokia Lumia 920 running Windows Phone 8) and have never been satisfied with the leather belt cases on the market. The cases out there hold the phone sure, however, they just don’t have the pizzazz that I like to see. They also tend to be pretty thick and not formed to the phone. I developed this piece as I needed something in brown leather that reminded me of the old US Calvary belt pouches from the middle 1800’s. This particular case is made from 3-4oz. vegetable tanned leather, dyed a...
