Multi Tool Belt Pouch

Multi Tool Belt Pouch

Multi-tools are one of the coolest things that have been invented to go on your belt. Small, relatively light weight and more gadgets than most tool boxes have. Of course, you require a multi tool belt pouch to carry it properly. This project was yet another interesting one. I received an email from a women in Zambia (yes, Zambia) who wanted something special for her husband on their wedding anniversary. Her husband works at a golf course in Solwezi, Zambia and uses his Leatherman multi-tool daily. She wanted a custom pouch for the leatherman, with her husbands name carved into the front and a quote carved into the back. I took it a step further and carved his signature...

Cell Phone Sleeve

Cell Phone Sleeve

Can’t say that I have seen a “Custom” cell phone sleeve and cases out and about. If you think about it, this may be an area where you can really stand out. You can be as loud or as refined as you’d like. This sleeve is a prototype that has been in use for about a year now and is wearing very well. This particular sleeve is constructed of Iguana for the front, 1/2 oz. oil tanned leather for the back and calf-skin for the lining. The individual carrying this sleeve for the past year requested a simple sleeve which is easy to insert and extract the phone from. Custom options are many and include various facing materials (can be exotics or plain...

Pipe Rollup Bag

Pipe Rollup Bag

Pipe Rollup Bags, how else are you going to carry your Castello, perfect flame grain, Dublin? You have invested a small fortune into the pipes that you smoke and you should as well invest a smaller fortune in the bags that you carry them in. I started making these years ago for McCRanies Pipe Shop in Charlotte, NC. They were exclusive to McCranies at that time and did quite well. In fact, I understand that these particular bags are doing quite well in auctions in the UK (If you can find them). Well, they’re back! These Pipe Rollup Bags came in two configurations at the time, a two pipe and 6 pipe version. These bags are not something that I keep in stock and are...

Shop PCS

Shop PCS

The Shop PCS is a project ordered by a welding shop owner in Georgia that got really tired of buying belt pouches for the items he used daily that kept wearing out. In addition, they were just ugly. The customer needed a belt carry PCS that carried his old Leatherman, a BIC pen that he just loved and a small MagLight. In addition he required a keyclip on the bottom for, well… you know… keys. He also required a matching cellphone case for his current iPhone and one he was looking to upgrade to. We chatted a bit and a further requirement was a leather that was stupid strong. This belt carry PCS is made of horse hide and is dyed a dark walnut brown. The...

Pocket Watch Case

Pocket Watch Case

A Pocket Watch Case is a definite requirement for those that prefer to carry a pocket watch over a wrist watch. We were commissioned by an executive in the mid-west to create a custom leather pocket watch case with attached leather braided cord for one of his latest antique finds. Interestingly, we have recently been commissioned to make many leather items without having the actual piece that will be placed in it. We do this with exact dimensions, a lot of research and hand made hardwood molds. This watch case was no exception. As the watch is very valuable, the customer didn’t trust the transportation system to deliver this watch safely for a custom fit. (I have...

iPhone 6 Griffin Survivor Leather Pancake Case

iPhone 6 Griffin Survivor Leather Pancake Case

What we have here is a Leather Pancake case constructed to hold an iPhone 6 enclosed in a Griffin Technologies Survivor. You may notice that with many/most cellphone cases coming out today they all have clips of some kind that add an additional 1/2″ to the case thickness once you place it on your belt. The nice thing about pancake cases is that due to the construction they lay very flat against your side. This particular case has been made for an attorney in Manhattan that wished the case to be very simple yet rugged. It is constructed out of 3-4 oz. vegetable tanned leather and is lined with a grey sueded pigskin. It is dyed black with Fiebings Professional Oil...
