Applique Braid Belt
This is my personal belt. The conchos with tourquoise centers mirror the design of the buckle, while the two toned braid running down the center of the belt adds an eye catching accent and appeal.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Custom Spur Leathers For 1911 Cavalry Spurs4.8Product is perfect and exactly as advertised. The workmanship is impeccable and sized just as I requested. Shipping was fast, and I received my straps nearly an entire week ahead of the estimated delivery date. I would absolutely work with Ric again, and highly recommend his skill and expertise to others.

Cav Dad
For Model 1911 Spur Straps5.0If 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.

It was a pleasure to work through Ric, and his products are certainly top notch. The spur straps I ordered were crafted out of quality material and look like they’re made to last.

For "Dogwood" Belts5.0Richard is a true craftsman...He listened to my custom requests and gave suggestions on how to accomplish them. The pictures he sent of the completed belt were nice, but paled in comparison to the actual item. My fe absolutely loves it !! It fits perfectly with her buckle. Thank you Rich for doing such a fine job. Bill Chiboroski
