Meet the Maker

Hello and welcome to Cowdog Leather. I'm a one man shop on the Front Range of Northern Colorado. I enjoy doing custom projects and designs so if you have something in mind, please message me. I make everything by hand. No laser engraving, no embossing with a press or roller. Everything is hand tooled, and hand stitched.

I am a NICU nurse in Northern Colorado, so I love that Goimagine donates their profits to childrens charities. I am married with 3 wonderful kids. We enjoy exploring and playing in the Colorado outdoors. We like to go hunting, fishing, hiking, snowboarding, and just relaxing and enjoying the western US. Thanks for looking and please let me know if I can make a project come to life for you.

How it’s Made

I lay out the pattern on a side of leather. Trace the leather with an awl and cut out the pieces. I hand skive (thin with a special knife) the edges to prevent the seams from being too thick. The pieces are glues, punched with stitching holes, and the saddle stitched by hand. Finally the handles are riveted on with copper rivets for strength and durability.

FAQ:

Why does my leather have a wrinkle here or there? Why does the color not look like what I was on the website?
- Leather is a natural product and may have blemishes, wrinkles, and imperfections such as bug bites or barbed wire scars. Every piece of leather can and does vary. I use the best quality full grain leather from Hermann Oak and do my best to work around these imperfections but in the end I consider these to be beauty marks and an indication of a natural handmade product. I also paint and dye my pieces by hand. Each hide also accepts paints and dye a little differently so colors may vary from item to item, in different lights, and on different screens.
Why are you so expensive?
- You get what you pay for. Retail belts are usually low quality, mass produced, & roller stamped or impressed with a machine. My items are made from high quality leather, hand cut, hand stitched, and meticulously hand tooled one at a time by yours truly. I strive to produce quality products and western art that you will want to show off to your friends.
How do I measure my belt size?
- This is THE most important part of ordering a custom belt. The best way to measure your belt size is to take a belt you currently wear and measure from the bend (where the belt folds around the buckle) to the hole you currently wear that belt at. That is your current belt size. Do not go off pant size, or memory, or what you think your waist size should be (we all think it should be less than it actually is), measure it. I cannot issue a refund if you provide me with an incorrect size.
Does the buckle style affect my belt size?
- Yes, is the short answer. Bigger buckle = shorter belt. A wide trophy buckle takes up more real estate compared to a standard buckle. So if your are changing buckles or buckle styles, your belt size can vary by 1-2 inches. If this is the case, just let me know and I will make the adjustment.
