We want to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who has reached out, checked in, and sent kind words following the early arrival of our daughter. We’re incredibly thankful to share that, after nearly two weeks in the NICU, she is finally home with us. ❤️

We’ve had some additional help in the shop, which has allowed us to get orders moving again. That said, with two of our team members away on baby leave, we’ve fallen a little behind on some lead times.

If you have an order with us and haven’t heard anything yet, don’t worry—we have it and it’s somewhere in the process. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get caught back up.

Current Order Status:

Radio Straps
• Late May–1st week of June: Finishing in paint/Final Assembly
• June–July 1: Entering paint stage
• July 2–August 7: Awaiting customization
• August 8–16: Cutting & edge work
• August 17–Present: Materials being ordered for build

Small Item Orders
Currently about one week behind. We expect to be back on schedule after this week.

Helmet Shields
All shields are currently in the design phase. Artwork proofs will begin going out over the next week or two.

Thank you again for your patience, support, and understanding during a pretty unexpected season for our family. We had planned for a late September due date but with a mid August arrival it has shifted our schedule quite a bit. Regardless, we’re grateful for every order and every person who continues to support our small business.

🎄 Christmas is coming earlier than you think! 🎅🏻

Because our products are handmade in our small shop, holiday orders need to be placed well in advance.

Radio Straps & Helmet Shields: Order by September 15
Most Small Goods: Order by November 1

Once we reach our holiday production capacity, certain products may close earlier.

A Little Family & Shop Update ❤️

We’re stepping away from the leather shop for a little while after the unexpected early arrival of our daughter, who is currently spending some time in the NICU.

We’ll get back to making orders, responding to messages, and getting things moving as soon as we’re able, but right now, family takes precedence.

We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support of our small family business. It means more to us than we can put into words. ❤️

We’ll be back at it as soon as we can. Thank you for being here with us. 🙏

🚨 Helmet Shield Update 🚨

We will be reopening orders for a limited time until we meet our order capacity on August 14th at 7 PM EST.

We will share a direct link to the helmet shield page as Friday gets closer. Keep an eye out if you’ve been waiting, spots will fill fast.

In the meantime, check out this nice looking Boston style shield we had the pleasure of making in our last run.

Throughout our time in the fire service we’ve had the opportunity to meet, network, and make connections with some great people. One of those connections has been with the folks behind Tradesman Fire & Fabrication. We’ve had the opportunity to craft some custom pieces for them that are then added to some of their awesome products. Here is a recent shipment of pull tags we were able to make for them in April.

Big thanks to their crew for the continued business! If you haven’t checked them out, please do. They’re making an impact in the world of forcible entry in the fire service.

These radio straps were made earlier this year for a local father and son who serve together in the fire service.

Moments like these remind us that we’re making more than leather gear, we’re creating pieces that become part of a family’s tradition.

Thank you for trusting us to be a small part of your story.

Your helmet tells a story. Your shield should too.

Whether it’s your company, station, badge number, or a design that’s uniquely yours, every custom helmet shield is handcrafted one at a time from premium veg-tan leather.

Are you ready for shield orders to re-open? Keep an eye out, we’ll have some slots opening up mid-August. Don’t miss out, they fill fast.
