I have been doing leatherworking as a hobby for about 7 years and I'm at the point of my life where I would like to make this my full-time job (career). I have been selling my creations for about 8 months now and I have had a pretty good response. What really pushed me to try and make this my main source of income was a Kickstarter I did in February of 2015 where I raised more than one thousand dollars. That money helped me get better tools and also used the money to try and expand my business, a website, and more business cards for example.
I can do anything with leather but I concentrate on the smaller stuff, wallets, notepad covers, knife sheaths, pouches, etc… I can do custom work just let me know.

    Working with JP was very easy and he made exactly what I asked for. Included pictures for me to get a better idea for colors and stitching and design. It was very helpful. It is great quality for the price. I got my product in less than two weeks. I will definitely be in touch with JP for any future product I need.

    Jose was great to work with. He did a totally custom job for me and did a few alterations to the original design at no cost to me. Very highly recommended.

    For Handmade Horween Chromexcel Black Leather Field Notes Moleskine Cover Wallet
    5.0

    I ordered a Handmade Horween Chromexcel Black Leather Field Notes/Moleskine Cover Wallet from Jose', recently. Unfortunately, I never did verify the overall dimensions of the finished item and when I received it I loved everything about it: craftsmanship, finish, beautiful to hold and look at--except, it was too wide and tall, for my preference, so I emailed Jose' and requested a re-work of the piece--even admitting that it was my fault, not his. His response was just as positive as when I ordered the wallet: "No problem." I offered to pay him for the re-cutting, but he beat me by offering to RE-MAKE my wallet, if it didn't meet my approval! Every email was met with a, "Can Do" attitude, and it was such a pleasure. I received the modified/new wallet and it is exactly what I wanted. Jose's attention to detail,and the level of customer service during this entire transaction was outstanding! Thank you so very much, Jose' for a great first experience with Custom Made. You exceeded every expectation and I look forward to shopping your line of handmade crafts,in the near future and I highly recommend your shop, JP Leathtercraft! https://www.custommade.com/by/jpleathercraft/ Thanks, Octavio

    For Biker Wallet With Paracord Chain Thoroughbred Leather Vegetable Tanned Black And Red

    When I came across some of JP's items, I was immediately impressed. I noticed he made a leather biker wallet w/paracord chain that had the same color pattern of my motorcycle and I knew I wanted it. I asked if he could make a little change to it to suit my needs and he took care of it with no problem of hesitation. He kept me constantly in the loop of my projects progress and shipped it to me faster than I accepted. It looks great and I started wearing it right away. I love it! Thanks JP!
