Repurposed Genuine Top-Grain Leather
Beautiful 100% natural top-grain leather from 40+ years of upholstery remnants outlasts other materials and gains patina with use.
Made for the Work
Pocket layouts, strap choices, and coverage are shaped around apron type, panel size, and daily movement.
Built by Hand
Each piece is cut, stitched, and finished with practical craft earned through decades of upholstery work.
