Know any leatherworkers?

[Brains]

I'm in the market for some sort of messenger or briefcase to carry my electronics (laptop, iPad, cables) around I'd also like to get a nice leather portfolio to carry because ... well sometimes its just easier to jot your thoughts down on paper vs. using an iPad and Apple Pencil. Plus it would give me a spot to hold business cards so they don't get all boogered up in my wallet.

Anyone know or have experience with someone in the USA, Texas preferably, that crafts these kinds of things?

Not Texas but North Carolina Two Fools Leather Goods. Curt is a master at leather work and his stuff will last forever. His belts are great but he really enjoys making bags and trunks. Check him out. https://www.fatboybelts.com/

Thank you. That reminds me I need a belt too!

King Ranch Saddle Shop has some very cool stuff.

Is the King Ranch stuff made domestically? I can't seem to find any indication anywhere on the site one way or the other. It certainly has a more 'automated, mass production' look compared to others.

Best route, hit up jrbfishn.
He can make some tough, yet good looking stuff.
One of a kind and "just what I wanted"!
I'll bet you can't beat the quality or the price.

Right now I have about 20 knives going as well as 4 holsters.
If you are willing to wait 4-6 weeks.

Aw, I can't have one tomorrow? (kidding). Let me know when you're looking for a project and we'll talk about maybe getting something going.

Will do.

I know a woman who works in leather but she tends to be domineering.

This guy is out in Decatur and made a really nice holster for me one time when I couldn't find any commercially made units available.
Hit him up and see if he can help you out.

I was under the impression it was made there but I could be wrong. A man I know has some of the furniture and its pretty awesome. I have had a few of the leather goods over the years. My BIL has an attache case that is really nice. Good leather, great workmanship. Good leather products are not cheap anywhere you get them.
