About Me

Hi! I’m Jeff, a Mechanical engineer by day and leather crafter by night. My dad is a maker and from a young age taught me how to bring my ideas to life. I enjoy auto mechanics, metal fabrication, 3D printing, machining, and woodworking. My wife accuses me of being a serial hobbyist: however, I disagree. :) I love the outdoors and live in Riverside, CA with my wife and two children. 

My journey into leatherwork began when I realized there must be a better option than purchasing wallets made from low-quality materials that wear out after a year or two. After researching handcrafted leather wallets, I realized they were out of my budget. Frustrated with products made from cheap materials or costly products made from quality materials, I decided to purchase some tools and leather and learn the art of leathercraft. I honed my leather crafting skills in a way that respects the classic traditions, combined with a modern commitment to sustainability. The result is a collection of modestly priced leather goods that are durable and sustainable.
