Assassins Creed Bracer set-This is a custom bracer set. I also have the patterns made for the warrior belt and shoulder harness and a belt bag. The package of the two bracers and the belt and shoulder straps is more. I am not using the same plastic and thin leather splits that other factory places are selling. These are hand cut, hand stitched and hand tooled products. There is no plastic or vinyl used in my product. They come in a one size fits all for men and lady's but I can make them in small or large sizes. The leather is a factory oiled brown leather that is very nice and very expensive. I use top of the line buckles and strapping material as well. The tooling will be done on a veggie tanned leather and is hand stitched onto the oiled leather. . These take about 60 to 90 days to make depending on work load. The paint project alone on these is very time consuming.

Greetings we are Barbarian Leather. We make Custom Leather accessories primarily. Most but not all of the knives we sell are hand made by Deer Wrangler Knives we make All the sheaths that accompany the knives we sell however. We do make clothing items but (we do not use any sewing machines so some types of leather apparel we do not do) and we make leather, hemp and beaded jewelery as well.
I make a lot of items in the areas of Celtic, Renaissance and Viking gear. However it is by no means the only work we do. We just do a lot of this stuff well… Sporrans, Bracers, Frogs, Flasks, Drinking Horns etc. and they have become some of my highest requested/selling items. We also do some Dragon & Comic Con type stuff Batman, Assassins Creed, Zelda you name it.
I enjoy making Western Gear, High Fashion and Native American we can work with a lot of different styles and we would get tired of doing the same types of projects all the time. So if you have a custom project I will work with you closely to get your ideas and make something special just for you. Most of the projects pictured were made to order.
Samples for Fashion Industry or Movie Industry. If you are a clothing line and would like us to design some accessories for your line belts, bangles, etc. let us know I have done this in the past for other lines. We will look at what your making and your ideas and come up with some unique designs for your line.
As for the movie industry we have not done any projects specifically for any movies yet but we would love the opportunity to do so.
Knives ..I'm not at this time a knife maker I carry nice knives though made by different makers so I work with very closely for sheaths etc. I do however make the sheaths that accompany the knives I sell. I don't make much money on knives per-say I make money making custom sheaths for your knife or the ones I sell. If you ever have an issue with one of our knives let us know directly and we will handle any issue with the swiftness.
Story Time:I tell a story about a few small hand made leather pieces I have had for so many years that people cant believe it is true but it demonstrates the difference between buying something on the cheep at Wallmart or Target and buying something hand made. I have a harmonica bag that I have had since I was 18 I'm now 43. My uncle made it out of leather and brass rings in the 60's gave it to me in the 80's, I'm still using it in the 2000's. I also have a folding knife case I still wear all the time, I made it at age 8 in my first leather classes again I'm 43. I have a single plain black belt that was hand made by a belt maker that I bought 13 years ago I wore it to construction jobs almost every day from then till now and it is still a great and functional belt. I doubt there is a big box store today that sells anything that will last you a life time. That is what buying a hand crafted item is all about. It's about spending a little more to get an item you will enjoy for a lifetime!
Bio:
We are both 40'ish, We live in Florida in the Tampa Bay area. Spend a lot of time with our kids. Represent Clan Campbell as an Active members of the New World Celts Dunedin Chapter (if you are a member we offer an N.W.C. discount on most Leather Items). Love going to concerts and I’m a music collector of sorts I enjoy almost all forms of music except Polka I think. I’m still a serious Dead Head. I play various percussion instruments and the Blues Harp. Love doing leather started over 30 years ago and took a long break for life and I'm back doing it again. I can make almost anything out of leather or wood I'm ok with metal. My wife Hollie does a lot(not all) of our hand painting but, she likes doing this part and it frees me up to make more pieces.
Pricing: Our hand made items are priced at the best price we can manage with the labor and materials invested in each of them in fact some of them are under priced for the work that goes into them. Hand tooling leather is probably a dying art and few people appreciate the amount of artisanship and craftsmanship that goes into each piece. Making hand made items is very time consuming and is more a labor of love than a profit driven business. Virtually everything I do is hand cut, hand tooled, hand stitched and hand colored. We don't use any type if machines besides the two god gave us to make these items. Enjoy our pictures and again we make everything as one off so if yo have something you want just ask we prefer to mix it up and make new things.
A guide to the best items from the best makers and the stories behind them.

elizabeth kriel
For Black Leather Watch BandThanks you SO much for the incredible workmanship on my leather cuffs ( I had a black and a brown one made). I love them!!! Thanks also for the great communication, keeping me posted on progress, allowing me to choose designs, Chicago screws, etc. The leather cuffs fit my dad's watch face to a T! I will be wearing them with pride and showing off your work. The work was done within record time (I expected to wait much longer) and shipping was super fast once the order was completed. You provided for a great experience. Thanks again.
Patrick Gasparro
For Horn Of Gondor Replica Leather Artistic Interpretation Of The Original. LotrI love the Horn of Gondor he made. I actually am ordering two more!!! Very easy to work with and communicate with!
Bill Petrillo Glass
For Big Bowie Bull Elk Handle With Finger Notches & Custom Leather Sheath.The blade will work. One of several things I was concerned with, I have never purchased a "custom" knife that did not have the makers mark/logo/name stamped on the blade. In several areas it looked roughly finished. I know the price was on the low end, but if you are making a supposedly custom knife either charge more or finish it properly.
Steven Wagner
For Handmade Black Or Brown Scottish Leather Sporran Bag W/Celtic Knot Design And Matching Black Or Brown Sporran HangersQuick response and extremely timely with the work. I am very happy with the outcome
Theodore Burns

Bobbie
For Jayne Cobb's knife sheathThis project was very short notice, the last maker fell through at the last min. Lucky for me Nathan at Barbarian Leather stepped in. He worked for me through everything and completed my project quickly. His leather work is amazing and I would highly recommend him to all of my cosplay friends. My Jane Cobb costume is complete and I cant wait to show it off. Thank you Nathan! You really came through for me when I needed you.
keith westberg
For Viking Drinking Horns Or Celtic Drinking HornsSo its starts out with a dad looking for a gift to present to his son who has just returned from the Marines and has a pending birthday. Knowing that a shirt is not going to make the cut, dad begins sifting threw gift ideas via google. Along the journey he comes across a photo of a drinking horn. Que light bulb. At this point we have a scent, but the generic finds are simply.. well.. too generic. This dad needs epic. So if you find yourself searching google for "epic", you will discover the name Barbarian Leather. After explaining the quest, they simply got it. As the project unfolded, they kept me informed and provided numerous opportunities to adjust the direction... but the need to change course was never required. Everything suggested or offered was over the top and only increased the wow factor. Fast forward to yesterday with son opening opening gift and you immediately realize the choice was as solid as your kids first car. And just when you think the ride is over, you find parchment with a seal attached explaining the the horns history and its journey spoken in a way only Gandalf the grey could pull off. This dad will be forever grateful for the the effort and care given to said project. Needless to say, Barbarian Leather is on this dads short list for grand slam solutions/gifts. Hat tip followed by salute...
