Gates Leather Thank you for looking! Im just a dude that likes to mess with leather and learn as I go.

First strap of the new way I plan to do my straps moving forward. There are enough people out there who do their straps the the same way with one single piece. I want to do things differently to where you know a Gates leather strap when you see one. They will cost a lot more, but the quality is on a different level. I’m still learning how to carve stuff so I won’t be offering that just yet, if you’re looking for carved I can help you find the right person, thankfully one of the best in the business is also local to Cincinnati. It won’t let me do a video in the post so there will be one in the comments. Everything I do is completely by hand and made to last. Suspenders are still on hold until my arm is a little closer back to normal. With this new design and process, my lead time is a bit longer, so if you’re looking for something awesome, let me know!

A few soft goods on the block!

If you don’t follow my personal page, I am dealing with an injury that’s preventing me from doing the heavy stuff with leather as well, so radio straps and suspenders are on a bit of a hold right now. In the mean time I will be putting together some chrome tan projects I have been wanting to do! Let me know if something catches your eye.

Another set of suspenders down! Everything I do is completely by hand. No machines, no die presses, 100% by hand.

The probie line is here! I plan to make a few of these to keep on hand. They are made with the same legendary Herman oak leather, they are not the same width as my other straps, and a little shorter (still long enough to be outside your cost if you want). I still use the high quality hardware. These are similar to that company with the east coast state as their name when it comes to size. Still completely hand made. They will run between $100 and $150 pending the details of what you would like. This one is $120 and is ready to go now!
