I'm still miles ahead from the hairline postings that the Bear Pit jokers diverted to last year though right?
I've got to tell ya- it's been close to a decade now and I still enjoy walking into a meeting with my Saddleback Portfolio and taking notes with a (higher than BIC) quality pen. If this isn't your bag (no pun intended) that's fine by me but I figured this community appreciates a high quality leather holster or even a correctly put together leather skin so that eye for leather quality should theoretically transfer over to non-firearm tasks in our chosen professions.
Mascon leather does great work. It isn’t cheap and there’s a long wait list. I have a Chunky Charlie wallet, 3 passport covers for my family, a checkbook cover, and a large notebook cover. Currently waiting for another Chunky Charlie in a different type leather from the one I already have. Don’t need another, just wanted to try something different. They hold up great.

Whelp- learned something new tonight. That reminds me of circa... 2018 or so that my credit union called me saying there was a suspicious charge on my account being billed to 'OnlyFans' and my response to the lady on the phone was "Yep- certainly wasn't me, I don't really follow sports..."
Man are those buttons sharp! It certainly looks like a quality holster but after perusing their website, I'm not seeing any leather goods aligned with "office warriors". Beautiful holster though!

Looks like some quality tool belts to me!This is where I buy my expensive leather goods.

Good saddle leather
Not disputing your comment but did you have a link/URL to see their work? I clicked on their profile and only landed up on... 'potato'.
Awesome- another leather company that wasn't on my radar- thanks for sharing @usmc45 I'll check them out!
Absolutely beautiful sir- both the case and in the wood. Something to treasure for sure.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some Milt Sparks goodness and have it on my "to-do" list to pick up at least two for their products this year, but I was hoping to expand past quality leather holster makers and move into quality leather manufactures for daily products such as briefcases/portfolios/etc. Milt Sparks provides an amazing product no doubt.Milt Sparks Holsters Inc.

Very nice- wasn't calling you a potato sir- just didn't see a link to your shop. Holy smokes, I just saw that you're from Idaho too... I assure you that was merely a coincidence and not intended as a slight. I'll have to checkout the leather working thread, appreciate the suggestion.

No worries- I was trying to be funny. We have a neat little shop in north Idaho. If you’re ever in the area, I’d be happy to give you the tour.
Oh I have no doubt- my follow up response was in fact sincere (I know it's hard to decipher that in the Pit but dang this topic wouldn't fit anywhere else). I've got an eye for quality leather and greatly appreciate it in all forms. I had mentioned it previously but my intention was to start a thread focused on amazing leather goods that aren't holsters or gun related. I know many of us appreciate quality leather holsters but also know that there's a big group of folks that appreciate quality saddle makers as an example but thought I'd reach more leather product aficionados with the briefcase/office product angle (I don't own horses myself) since that appreciation likely cares over to our work lives.@LuckyDuck
what @JJMoody makes is very nice. Pics don’t do it justice. He’s also a super cool guy.

I appreciate the invite- I'll keep it in mind if I ever end up in that neck of our country. GTG here, just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't intentionally joshing with you when I said potato, just a very odd coincidence and not an insult to your work.
Hah- my ancestry/lineage is all Irish so, in addition to drinking problems, we likely also have it worse with the brunt end of those potato jokes than even the Idahoans do!If you offend someone from Idaho with any potato reference, then maybe they ain’t a real Idahoan.
Yeah looks like a lot of nice places were brought up in this thread! Good idea for the thread.
Dang, don’t they ever. Beautiful products. That’s a one man shop run by… Paul right? I first learned about them from one of the 1911 forums about 5 years or so ago (definitely was before COVID) but the lead times then, at least from what I remember, was something along the lines of at least being something like a year out because he exploded in popularity with the 1911 folks.
