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!

    For Leather Bracelet
    4.2

    I was extremely happy with the quality and workmenship of both items I custom created and received. My only complaint was that neither of the bracelets fit… At all! So I am disappointed, because there is nothing I can do since they were a personalized project. They are too small and he can't even get them on. I am so so sad because they were a 12th Anniversary and Fathers Day present I have been saving for my husband as a gift. He will not even be able to wear them now. The sizing was a concern I had while making these projects- I gave the wrist measurements and let the creator know my concern, and he said he would make them bigger on the length so they would fit comfortably.

    The larger cuffed bracelet I ordered, which takes up more wrist space, could not even be snapped closed. The smaller bracelet could barely be closed but was so uncomfortably tight it would make him lose circulation in his hand. These were beautifully made- but I suggest adding additional length than what the creator said, so they will actually fit the customers. Even a little too lose would be better than way to tight that they don't close or fit. I also recommend the wider cuff bracelets should be even slightly bigger than the narrow cuff size… Just because of the more area it covers on the wrist. Because our wrist to our forearm extension widens. I really wish these would have worked out. I would have left a review sooner after purchase but I just gave the gift this Fathers Day weekend. I hate giving negative reviews. But the creator needs to be aware of sizing issues. Because if they don't fit the customers, the items are useless. I just am helping him be aware for future guests.

    Richard 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.
