F.A.Q.

Where are your products made?

All products are designed and handcrafted in Florida, USA.

Materials & Craftsmanship

What kind of leather do you use?

We primarily work with high-grade, full-grain vegetable-tanned and Latigo leathers. Full-grain leather retains the natural character and strength of the hide, making every item uniquely yours. For lined items, we carefully select quality chrome-tanned or suede linings to balance structure and flexibility.

What hardware do you use on bags and accessories?

We use solid brass and stainless steel hardware for our buckles, snaps, clasps, and D-rings. These metals are chosen for their corrosion resistance, structural strength, and ability to age beautifully alongside the leather.

Will my item look identical to the product photo?

Because full-grain leather is a natural material, slight variations in grain pattern, color depth, and subtle natural markings are normal. These unique traits ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.

Sizing details

When you order, please make sure to include all the measurements that would be needed for the specific item. (neck circumference, etc.)
We need this information in order to start working on it.


Care instructions

Since most of our work is made from Natural Vegetable Tanned Cowhide, it does require some love over time.
With the right care the leather will "break-in" and become softer and nicer to the touch.
We recommend "Smith's Leather Balm" lightly applied about twice a year in order to keep the leather flexible and protected. Another great option is Neatsfoot oil.
Store your items in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
To clean it, just buff with a lightly damp cloth. If needed you may use Saddle Soap and apply a small amount with a wet rag/boars bristle brush, then buff it off with a dry cloth.


Import taxes

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. We are not responsible for delays due to customs.
