Handmade Leather. Made in Texas.

More than 35 years at the bench, and no shortcuts.

"Handmade" gets used a lot. In our Lone Oak shop, it means knowing where a machine helps and where the work needs a person's hands and judgment. The tools cut and stitch. People inspect the hide, place the parts, guide the seams, mold the leather and finish every edge.

How a piece comes together

Cut from the right part of the hide

Every build starts with a full side of Hermann Oak vegetable-tanned cowhide. We inspect it first, then cut each part with steel dies on a clicker press, so every piece meets the next one the way it should.

Lined and stitched

Holsters get a smooth leather lining before stitching. Seams are sewn on COBRA industrial leather stitchers from Leather Machine Co., backstitched to lock the ends, and hammered to seat the thread.

Molded to the firearm

The leather is dampened and formed around a firearm we own or a mold we have in the shop, then boned by hand to define the shape and fit.

Edges finished by hand

Layered edges are sanded, shaped, burnished and painted until they feel like one piece. Then every order is checked before it ships.
