In 2014 I was making pistol holsters as a hobby. Mostly for myself. Make a knife sheath, rifle sling. Simple stuff really.

I asked one of the guys on my crew where he bought his glove strap. I've been needing one for years and didn't like the nylon with Velcro stuff I was finding. He suggested I make one from leather since I do leather work. DUH! I couldn't believe I never thought of that.

Then, Jeri suggested I make a wrap for her Rtic cup. Sure. I'll try it. Then I made pint glass wraps and gave them to my brother and sister-in-law for some occasion. I don't remember what it was. Anyway, my sister-in-law says "you should totally put that on Etsy". (yes, she said totally) I did the research and began to sell 1 or 2 items. It was OK. Added the glove strap and we were done.

We have the premise of affordable yet reliable. Durable but comfortable.

Jeri is a photo hobbyist. She has loved photography as long as I've know her and asked if I can make her a camera strap. I said "Sure. I can do something". So I did. She made 1 minor modification and got hooked. Now she makes all the lightweight stuff. Thinner leather. The camera stuff. Affordable yet reliable. Durable but comfortable.

We decided we don't want to charge extra for the tooling and basic colors.

Keep it affordable, keep it classy, make heads turn. This is our recipe for a fun and exciting hobby. We are here for you. Give us ideas. We run with it. Base the products off of what you want.
