Factory Seconds Belts live and available on our site.

Made from the same leathers tanned by in Red Wing MN. 2nds belts feature deeper cosmetic range marks and other imperfections such as scratches, pock marks, slight stitching imperfections also subtle buckle blemishes. These flaws are purely aesthetic and do not compromise the belt's strength, structure, or performance.

Supplies are limited (we don't make them seconds on purpose). If you don't see your favorite leather message us to see if we might have one "hidden in the back".

Sometimes our customers want something funky and different! So we do our best to make that happen: Teal belt with a gray back in gray thread and nickel Hardware.
Purple belt with yellow stitching and heavy duty, brass roller buckle.

Better pictures coming soon, but we finally have the Alpine green leather to match your boots! Copper makes it pop! It may be a little bit before I get these up officially on our site but if you’d like to order one, just contact us.

Always makes us happy to do a batch of contact card cases. These are for a group going to France in August. Also a few pics of years past. We also have some texts in both English and Spanish that are great for Puoneer Schools and Meetings.

After having a UPS account from almost 50 years and shipping hundreds of packages per month, yesterday, with zero warning, UPS told us they will no longer be picking up on Mondays and Wednesdays. We weren't given any notice, the driver simply called at 5pm (the time they normally pickup) to tell us that they weren't coming and would no longer be coming on Monday's or Wednesdays. No email, no notice by mail...nada.

We understand the difficulties of running a business and that our zip code has some very rural areas...however our shop is 2 blocks off a main highway that the UPS truck will still be traveling on a daily basis.

If you think UPS is bad for occasionally losing a package or delaying a delivery...look how they treat a customer they've had for over 4 decades and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

To our customers, we sincerely apologize that this means an extra day for your orders to get picked up. We are investigating other carriers and if any can offer daily pickup we will certainly be switching our primary way of shipping.

After many months of working/thinking on exactly what I wanted to do with these bags, I've finally landed on what will be our stock design (obviously we can make modifications if you'd like.) It features an inside pocket large enough for a 13" MacBook, Pen Pockets and phone pocket, a front pocket big enough for most tablets, buckle closures and grab handle. I've got them made up in Briar Oil Slick, Black Canyan (a Teacore AKA: Prairie), Black Cherry Excalibur, Concrete Hardtimes (R&T) and Sienna Hillbilly, all from . I also did a sample in another leather from (last pictrue). Pricing on the bags is $275 with free shipping. Belts are my standard prices starting at $57: I now have Black Cherry Excalibur and Black Canyan (teacore that matches Prairie).
I've still not taken the time get these up on the site yet but DM me to purchase.

Finally able to source a solid copper that goes great with any of our belts or available separately. Can’t wait to see these on belts!
