Head over to MKCustomLeather.ca to get your project started today!

Hey there folks!

I just wanted to start this off by thanking each and every one of you for the support over the last few years, especially in 2025. It was hands down my busiest year of leather projects, and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. However, as of today, my custom order books will be closed for the foreseeable future. There are some changes coming to my personal life that I’m incredibly excited about, however I’ve decided that trying to balance those changes and keep operating my leather business at the same time isn’t going to be practical.

I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built of this little venture, and I don’t plan on being gone from leatherwork forever, but I can’t say what my return will look like or when it will happen.

If you have an order with me or we have spoken about your project, don’t panic. All projects that are currently on my books will be completed before I step away!

If you’re feeling like you missed out, I apologize. I debated heavily on when/how to announce this and settled on only doing so once I had my books filled with projects that would take me up to the date I have set to step away. I will be updating my website in the next week or two, with all pre built products I have in inventory, so there is still a chance to scoop something up for your own!

These pictures are just a few of my favourite projects I had the opportunity to work on over the last few years!

Once again, thank you all for your support over this incredible journey of mine! I would not be where I am today without it!

Sincerely,

Matt Korchinski - MK Custom Leather

I’ve been patiently waiting to post these, but not as patiently as their new owner had to wait to unwrap them… thanks UPS…

When Kelsey reached out to me, the initial plan was to build a wallet for her boyfriend for Christmas. He must’ve brought home flowers a few days later because she messaged me again asking if could build him a set of chinks instead, as he had lost his old pair in a house fire last spring. Absolutely!
•
I got to put what I’d learned building my first pair of shotgun chaps to use, and learned a few new things with this pair, but I’m incredibly proud of the way they turned out!
•
That’s a wrap for 2025 here at MK Custom Leather! I’ve got another day up north for work before it’s time to hop on a plane, head home, ring in the new year, and get started on my goals and projects already booked in for 2026!
•
I want to send a giant thank you to all of my customers, new and returning for the support in 2025! It was the busiest year yet, and I’m looking forward to 2026!

graduation jacket also deserves a place here on the timeline!
•
I’m the kind of person who can look at a mud puddle and magically end up covered in it, so when I pulled this beautiful off white jacket out of its bag, I panicked a bit…
•
I love getting requests that really make a project unique. Initials, brands, a certain type of flower or a name tucked into a project. Lots of these things however, are just an element that I add in without much thought. This brand was a little different though. I recognized it immediately, and felt honoured to be trusted enough to tool this onto a project!
•
According to Jestin’s parents, Ty was always really good to Jestin as a youngster, and since starting to ride steers and bulls, he has found a way to have Ty’s brand on anything he has made!
•
Thanks for the order and support Craig, Wendy and Jestin, and congratulations on your graduation! Stay safe and healthy down south while riding and going to school!

Trapped in a loader at my day job during “the void” between Christmas and New Years, so I figured what better time to go back and share some projects from 2025 that deserve their own place on the timeline!
•
These grad shoes I had the pleasure of doing for .stewart were such a fun project. My first time attempting anything like this, but thankfully, there are tons of other leather workers who lead the way and have been building and posting custom leather Converse shoes, so it wasn’t anything a few reels and YouTube videos couldn’t help me figure out.
•
I’m really proud of the way these turned out, despite the hassle it took to keep these things as clean as when they arrived in their box… WHO THE HELL BUYS WHITE SHOES!?
•
Thank you for the support Jenalee, and congratulations on your graduation, and move into post secondary education!
