Welcome to my leather specialty items website!

I craft a number of handmade, genuine leather items, but I specialize in one of a kind, customized leather Fez Cases for Shriners.

This is my Dad's case, made in about 1972 to carry his own Fez, after lots of trial and error making the molded overlapping one piece leather lid.  Dad perfected the stitched handle and one piece sewn-in bottom.  Lots of design and quality improvements, as well as efficiencies and innovations have been made over the years - you'll want to examine the Photo Album and visit my Process page.
