steveb leatherworks: the blather

Hi friends,  fans, leatherworkers, and browsers…it’s been a while since I checked in here and I thought now would be a good time since I’ve got some stuff in the works that will require homes. This post is about “totes”. Totes are those handy as hell bags that people carry to transport anything from groceries to laptop […]

Well, giving stuff away is a shiteload more work than I had anticipated, but I have a winner of giveaway #1 – the keyclip/fob that’s been pictured a few times over the last week. I had asked that folks : do three things: follow me, repost a post,  and tag any of my posts (#stevebleatherworks) […]

Pocket wallets, my own design – a staple of my stock for years – still a winner – still as handy as ever.  I make each myself, by hand. I don’t make them much anymore, and wanting to keep affordable things in stock, i thought I’d revisit them, with a fresh eye. Simplify them a […]

These are unique, one of a kind wallets, made of great quality American-tanned veg tan and I’ve treated it in my own special way – it feels good in the hand. The Baskety Boy has a really deep basketweave pattern hand stamped into it a cool red/mahogany/black fade dye job going on… My customers have […]

The Scarred Smarter Fin is a Fin wallet with a beautiful complex coloration, a black edge and natural thread.. The Fin measures 6.5 long and 4″ at its widest point. The wallet fits a jean back pocket perfectly and is set up with a brass grommet for a chain (not included). There are 4-patch pockets […]

Pocket wallets – a staple of my stock for years – still a winner – still as handy as ever. I don’t make them much anymore, and wanting to keep affordable things in stock, i thought I’d revisit them, with a fresh eye. Simplify them a little bit, lowered the cost, etc… I really do […]

A new Belt -n the Q-Ray Shun, is in need of a home As always, you can get immediate gratification by ordering goods from my ETSY Store.

Many of my customers come to me for custom work after previously having had a “not-so-good” experience with leather hobbyists who do “work for hire”.  It’s understandable that this happens – as it takes time to get a handle on the art, the craft and most of all the materials necessary to make something from […]

The SteveB Valet is made, by me, right here in the USA,  of two 10.0z squares of seriously heavy duty vegtan leather between which is another sandwich of chrome tanned leather from Langlitz. This whole shebang is glued, stitched and riveted together – so you know this unit will outlive the roaches and will be […]

the OLD SHOE, a generation 2, belt fob – check it out – a tried and true design. I wore it on my belt as I do all of my designs to insure “structural viability and integrity” (only the most rigorous tests on my stuff will do) and now that the design is well vetted, […]

If you ride a motorcycle, you need to know the stuff you carry, the items you wear  – as well as the bike you ride – are all rock solid. If you want some really well made, nicely designed and unique leather items to wear on your person – take a look at what is […]

Made this new sheath for MYSELF out of Manta Ray scraps gifted to me by Paul Cox, leather-craftsman of great repute. I really haven’t ever done much with skins, other than using them as a decorative inlay at odd times, but Paul gave me a bag of scraps and so i thought i’d play. The […]

C’mon and get it, available now! Comes with a chain….

Clean, classic, simple and available……. comes with a brass chain

AVAILABLE – come and get it – comes with a brass chain!

Great color, reminds me of a guitar player i played with…his Les Paul was pretty damn close to this colorwise  and was the inspiration of this series of Fin wallets that have a sunburst guitar theme…available for sale… this wallet is ready to go and comes with a brass chain

map case’s make great gifts and are useful for all the vehicles in your life…..

i get requests for straight black wallets all the time. The white thread is the “poppy” concession to style…

this unit feels great in the hand and in the pocket, just big enough for what is needed…

got to say, I dont know what the dang heck i was thinking, but it came out swell.. really something unusual. The lucky owner is getting a styling son-of-a-gun, for his ducats.

this 2-tone son of a beeotch came out sweet, cool color combo…

this Squire has a subtle red patch on it, that for some odd reason went nuke when i tried to shoot it… anyway, this Squire rocks, great stamping pattern offset by the smooth leather.
