Cut by hand. Stitched by hand. Built to outlast you.
Brad works one hide and one piece at a time in the North Carolina foothills: wallets, belts, western gun leather, knife sheaths, and anything else you can cut from a side of leather. Tell him what you need and he'll build it to fit, tooled and initialed however you like.
One craftsman, one workbench, no shortcuts.
Spotted Ridge Leather is Brad, and nobody else touches your order. He cuts every pattern, skives every edge, and pulls every stitch by hand, the same way it's been done for a couple hundred years. If a piece can be tooled with your initials, a name, or a mark of your own, it can be. If you don't see exactly what you want in the gallery below, that's fine too. Tell him what you're picturing and he'll build it.
- Wallets, card & money holders, belts of every width
- Western gun belts, holsters, and cartridge rigs in any caliber or size
- Rifle & shotgun slings, scabbards, and ammo carriers
- Knife sheaths, bags, and small custom pieces
- Hand-tooled initials, names, and monograms on request
Pieces Brad has already built
Every piece below left the bench for a real customer. Use it as a starting point: Brad can build any of these again in your leather, your colors, and your size.
How a custom order comes together

Reach out
Call, text, or email Brad with what you're after: an exact piece from the gallery, or your own idea. A photo of what you're picturing helps.

Talk it through
You'll settle on leather, color, hardware, and any tooling or initials together before anything gets cut. On custom pieces, Brad may ask for a deposit up front, and that gets worked out when you connect.

It gets built by hand
Every piece is cut, tooled, and stitched to order, never mass-produced or pulled off a shelf.

Pickup, drop-off, or shipped
Most orders are handed off locally by drop-off or pickup. Prefer it shipped? That's available too, once the piece and shipping are paid for.
