HUNTING SEASON IS COMING. 🦌🦆🦃

Before long, the mornings will be colder, the trucks will be loaded before daylight, and we’ll be headed back to the woods and water.

If your hunting gear needs an upgrade, now is the time to get on the Howell & Hide custom order books.

From deer camp to the duck blind and turkey woods, we’re making leather goods built for the outdoors:

• Custom leather gun slings
• Hunting totes
• Waterfowl gear
• Personalized
• Custom leather goods built around YOUR needs

No mass-produced gear here. Just handmade leather, built tough, made to be used, and designed to look even better after a few seasons in the field.

🦌 DEER
🦆 WATERFOWL
🦃 TURKEY

Get your orders in now so your gear is ready when the season opens.

👇 What are you counting down to — deer season or duck season?

✨ Our new Howell & Hide Custom Leather website is officially LIVE! ✨

As a made-to-order custom leather shop, we’ve designed our website with our customers in mind. Rather than a traditional online store, it’s built to help us create one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to your exact vision. From leather selection and tooling to stitching, hardware, and personalized details, we’ve structured the site to make the custom ordering process as seamless as possible.

In addition to our custom ordering options, we’ll also be releasing exclusive handcrafted collections each month. These ready-to-purchase pieces will be available in limited quantities, so be sure to check back often—you never know what heirloom-quality piece will be added next.

Thank you for supporting our small family business and allowing us to create pieces that are built to last for generations. We can’t wait to create something special for you.

Happy Monday from the leather shop! 🤎

Here’s what’s on the bench this week:
✨ A custom belt
🌻 Finishing a duo of tooled sunflower bracelets
👝 A handcrafted trifold wallet
🤎 And maybe… just maybe… a few custom handbags ready to launch. 😉 Stay tuned!

Now I want to hear from you! If you could watch me make one leather item from start to finish, what would it be? A handbag, wallet, belt, guitar strap, or something completely different? Let me know in the comments! 👇

🎸 Just finished up this custom mahogany guitar strap, lined with a striking white buck stitch! I absolutely love how the craftsmanship came together on this piece. It’s on its way to Georgia, and I’m so grateful for amazing customers ! Thank you for trusting me with your vision. Who else is ready for a custom strap? Drop me a comment or DM if you’d like something special!

I have a question for you… 👇🤎

If you could watch me make anything out of leather, what would it be?

Belts? Wallets? Bible covers? Knife sheaths? Horse tack? Tooled handbags? Dog collars? Something completely unique?

I’m planning a lot more behind-the-scenes videos and want to make what you want to see.

Drop your idea in the comments—you might just inspire my next project. 🤠🪡

Buckstitch or no buckstitch? 🤠

If you’ve ever wondered what buckstitch is, it’s the decorative hand-laced stitching you often see around the edges of western leather goods. It adds character, a timeless western look, and a handcrafted finish that makes each piece stand out.

Personally, I love the extra detail it brings—but I’d love to know what you think!
