Custom four inch wide heavy leather guitar strap. Can be personalized further with your name, slogan, nick name, initials, band name or..!
Hand crafted in America our guitar strap is twice as wide as most mass produced guitar straps. The wider the strap the more area to distribute the weight of the guitar, making it substantially more comfortable to play, for longer periods of time. With less stress placed on your neck, shoulders, and back.
For an extra 37.50 you get 10 letters to further customize your guitar strap. If you need more letters let us know. Available in a variety of colors if you want some thing different for color just email us, we can generally do it.

Our hand made custom leather dog collars are made in America, and like all our products, made to last. Designed for medium (60 pounds and up) and larger dogs. Makes a great gift!
At the end of the 19th century when mail order catalogs were the Internet of the day, companies like Montgomery Ward and Sears and Roebuck offered ready made hats with names like Big Chief, Dakota, Calgary, Jolan, and Boss of the Plains.

Classic Buckskin Coats and Jackets
Check out our line of classic buckskin and leather coats and jackets styled with a western flair. Many of the garments have whip stitching and fringe, adding a frontier look.
Stylish and functional, most of the coats and jackets are made from buckskin/suede for a reason. Suede will stay soft and supple in the cold, keeping you cozy on cool days.
Most of our coats are named in remembrance of the early days of North America; for people and frontiersmen and events that helped shape Democracy in North America. And the late 18th through the 19th century are full of firsts.
Five coats, buckskin frontier pants and a pig skin vest for the men, and three dynamic coats for the ladies. Great for dressing up in 2023 or in 1883 circa clothing! See all coats

Searchers Rifle Sheath
the Searchers Rifle Sheath from the classic western film The Searchers {1956}, hand made by the last best west
THE RED PHOENIX – Our version of the Indian Rifle Sheath from the classic western film The Searchers {1956}. The Comanche style bead work on our Best Rifle Sheath is custom made for us by a skilled craftswoman. The hide is milky soft and the long, spaghetti fringe gives it a dramatic look.
Any fine rifle deserves a spectacular sheath.
Set right after the Civil War in North Texas, The Searchers is a powerful story, with great costuming. This is our version of the Rifle Sheath Ethan Edwards is carrying with an 1866 Henry Repeating Arm in the rifle sheath.
This Rifle Sheath is just long enough to cover the rifles’ action. We will custom make to fit your specific firearm.

Subject: Review Secondhand Lions HatThis hat is perfect for my purposes. I spend a lot of time outside so a good hat is a must due to being sunburned easily and bald. It is well worth the wait. Size wise it is just right not too loose and not too tight. The ribbon and trim blend nicely with the granite coloring.
You’ll also be interested to know that I also plan to like the cowboys of old create my own hatband. All in all I would glad recommend your store for all my friends and even some enemies.
Sincerely yours Luke Blough.

ARRIVED!!! And they (Combination Shoulder Holster) are stunning. Thank you so much for the amazing turnaround. That was light speed!
It’s going to our weapons department and heading to set…We have had to have custom leather holsters made for other shows like “Westworld” and “Mind Hunter” and your work is outstanding. Love to circle back the next request.

Subject: Love the hat!Receives my Quigley a week ago. Have to admit I was very nervous buying a hat site unseen. My expectations were more than met. The hat fits and looks great.
After a week it sits so natural on me. I have received many compliments. Thank you again. Grear job! Dirk Loy
We just received Josey Wales around 3:00pm. The box looked like it had been just put together. There was no dents scraped or tears in it.
Josey was out of his barn so to speak but was in beautiful shape which is testament to the quality of the work that you do the hat blew us away blew us away.
Hat (Bullock) received…and I could not be more pleased with it. Your company is, hands down, my favorite hat-making company.
You can quote me.
In person the cowboys were mostly medium-sized men… quick and wiry, and as a rule very good-natured; in fact, it did not pay to be anything else. In character, their like never was or will be again. – Teddy Blue Abbott; Cowboy 1882
