I'm looking for some more companies similar to billykirk and tanner. Any suggestions?

Maxx and Unicorn
Makr

That's all I can think off the top of my head. There are a couple that are escaping my lips at the moment ...

this stuff is super rad, and happens to be made by a guy that I grew up with.

Makr Carry Goods | Leather Goods, Wallets, Bags, Accessories | Made in the USA

Saddleback Leather Co. : Leather Bags, Leather Briefcases, & Luggage

Corter Leather - Home

Harness Leather Belts | Handbags | Wallets | Bridle Leather Belts

used to be into buying this type of stuff- it's way addictive like buying nice bike parts.

i own a makr flap wallet, it's way way nice. corter leather is a friend of mine- a one man craftsmanship operation out of his apartment- he does it as a full time occupation.

What leather goods specifically are you looking for?

What leather goods specifically are you looking for?

Mostly belts and wallets. Wide, thick belts and plain wallets. I'm really liking Tanner's offerings in both categories. I've long lusted over goods from the likes of Launer, Swaine Adeney Brigg, etc, but there's a different feel to the goods from a small, relatively young American company that really appeals to me, especially when it comes to small goods.

This guy Scott runs a very small custom leathergoods company (small because if I remember correctly he is a full time teacher) called Don't Mourn Organize and he runs a Blog of his stuff too. His belts are as good as Tanners (I have several of both) and his wallets are awesome. Here are a few pics of the stuff he's made me. Prices are reasonable and he's a great guy, though depending on his existing orders, he may not be as fast as buying existing stock from a place like Tanners.




Drop him a line.

you said "leather" right--here what i got:

not so much style, but function...as that's what i value most-sound design, function, and customer service. i wear a mernickle belt every day, and their high-ride two-position holster with s/a revolver maybe 100 days per year. i wear Nick's boots-all leather, hand-made, re-buildable. Nick's boots support the foot so well that i was able to ditch the rx orthodics i _had_ to wear in Danner boots (no not the import sneaker-boot-junk).

holsters and belts: MERNICKLE HOLSTERS

my rig:




a mernickle "grand complication" (yeah, it costs more--they do a lot of SASS biz)




boots: Nicks Boots

(nick's website is a total clusterfluck-ignore that and call 'em)
