"Wore it every day for 8 months tramping the Routeburn. Still looks better than the day I bought it."

"Finally, a belt that doesn't need replacing every year. Thick leather that actually holds up."

From Workshop to Field
Thick hide, hand tools, and years of use ahead.
Made in Dunedin
We're in Dunedin because this is where it makes sense. South Island hides. Close to the farms that work them. Close to the people who need gear that won't quit halfway through a season.
Everything's hand-cut and stitched. No machines running the thread. No shortcuts burnishing the edges. Takes longer. Costs more. Lasts decades instead of years. That's the trade.
This is leather that takes wear and shows it honestly — scratches, scuffs, darkening from weather. It doesn't try to stay pristine. It gets better with use or it's not worth making.
