Our commitment to excellence, ensures every item from gun holsters to purses, bags, keychains, and belts is made to last. Here are the answers to what customers often wonder about Brayton Leather Works.
What kind of leather do you use for your unique items?
We primarily use high-quality cowhide leather. For special linings or specific designs, we also incorporate goat or other exotic leathers to enhance the item's uniqueness and feel.
What is the process for a custom leather piece from order to delivery?
The journey begins with a roll of premium leather, chosen based on the item's specifications. Each piece is then meticulously hand-traced, cut, and punched for stitching. We hand-sew all our products using strong tendon thread for unmatched strength and durability. Finally, the product is treated with chemical-free leather treatments, with beeswax being our most common choice, before being shipped directly to your doorstep or preferred location.
How should I care for my new Brayton Leather product, and what if something isn't right?
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your leather item, we recommend applying a good quality leather conditioner every few months, depending on its use. If you prefer, you can send your item back to us for professional treatment. Should anything not be quite right with your product, we at Brayton Leather Works are committed to making it right. We'll work with you to find the best solution, whether that's fixing your existing item or replacing it.
