We are a small leather shop in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and in 2022 we celebrated our 31st anniversary as a brick and mortar store on King Street. We specialize in custom leatherwork and sell everything to tackle leatherwork as a hobby. With over 50 years of hands-on leatherworking experience, we're here to help you find exactly what you need.
Our custom leatherwork is always changing and evolving, but our most standard items are belts, knife sheaths, and bags (including duffels, messengers, and toiletry)! Have a question about a custom piece? Connect with us!
Our products include vegetable tanned leather, bridle leather, bag-weight chrome tanned leather, upholstery weight chrome tanned leather, and some locally tanned lightweight chrome tanned leathers. We also sell dyes, finishes, conditioners, and glues, as well as hardware, books, and hand-stitching supplies. Check out our website!
