I'm an artisan who loves leather. Most of the work I do is on a custom basis. Typical work includes belts, billfolds, clutches, purses, guitar straps, rifle slings, holsters, artwork (pictures), dream catchers, leather certificates, knife sheathes, etc. If it isn't listed, don't assume I don't do it! ASK!!

For Python Skin Inlay Belt BuckleVery good craftmanship! Had it made with black leather outside and white/cream Pyton inlay. Looks very good! Back of the buckle also very good quality for my belt.

For Custom Leather Knife SheathI needed a sheath for a knife I purchased. Ric did an amazing job with this project. The sheath was beautiful, he was constantly in communication with me, and the price was very reasonable for a custom made item. I will definitely use him for my future leather needs. My only problem is the sheath he made looks so good, I now need a fancier knife to go in it!

For Model 1911 Spur StrapsIf any of CavDad’s Troopers looking for a highly skilled artisan to make a stunning pair of custom spur straps, then Richard P. Harber Jr., trading as “Rics Leather”, your destination. This was a complete five-star experience. Having recently purchased a pair each of original Model 1911 and Experimental 1914 Cavalry Spurs, going with original straps was considered, but finding a matching set of upper AND lower straps provided problematic. Enter Rics Leather. Asking questions I had not even considered and working in close collaboration, resulted in stunning spur straps in both russet, for use with AR 670-1 field/garrison boots, as well as in black for the dress shoes and The Army Ball. From initial inquiry to shipping notification, the communication was always timely and courteous. CavDad cannot sing his praises any higher, louder, or clearer, other than to say I would recommend this highly skilled craftsman to you without hesitation or reservation.
