Outdoorsman Belt
A beautiful, bold and stout sandcast brass buckle handmade in my studio is mounted on a robust piece of Hermann Oak 17oz Saddle skirting. The robust leather is extremely durable and will darken with use. Please measure an old belt from the base of the buckle to the most used hole for a good fit.

Meet the Maker
Bill Carnes
Clintonville Leather
I have been creating custom leatherwork for the last 9 years on Etsy and my own shop. I focus on belts with handmade hardware but can also make bags and wallets. In the last 9 years one of the few things I have made is a saddle. If it is not a saddle I can probably help.
I can use many of the top leathers from all over the world.
I can saddle stitch by hand or use an industrial sewing machine.
I am able to create custom tooling and designwork as well as create custom metal hardware.
I travelled across the US on my bicycle and operated a bicycle taxi for 12 years and focus on making things with a high level of durability for active hard working folks.

Apr 1, 2024I'm a repeat customer and my latest project with Bill was something for myself. Bill is easy to work with and I already knew his work would be amazing. I'm so happy and will wear my belt every day for the rest of my life.

Nov 9, 2020I have always been leery of working with online products because I'm of the generation that is "hands on." So it was with some trepidation that I paid for this project up front hoping that I would get what I asked for. Well, it has exceeded my expectations! I am wearing my knife case at this moment. It was the color, style and size I needed and wanted. When I communicated with Bill Carnes he was prompt in returning my emails and produced a product that I am sure I will pass on to my sons. THANK YOU Bill Carnes!! I would not hesitate to have something else made by you or your company. I happily give you five stars in every category. By the way, it even came a day early! Thanks again for a job well done! Eric Black

May 14, 2020Bill was very easy to work with. He spent a lot of time communicating to make sure he was on the same page. He took my idea for a custom case and did excellent work! It was shipped out on the date promised.

Jan 2, 2023The belts are so beautiful and my husband (hard to buy for) was impressed at the quality of materials and workmanship. Bill was responsive as we did have several back and forths with decisions on details. I met him for pick up as I was local. Bill was great to work with and I plan to be back for more belts. Actually just thought of an idea for myself.
