Here's some catch up photos. I've acuatlly closed taking in new custom orders for a while until I get caught up. This is Kamal's Elephant wallet. Elephant Bilfold with dark blue Lizard lining. Here's the story: I work with a local leather jacket maker. She made an Elephant Hide jacket for Kamal and it's BAD ASS! Kamal wanted a bi fold wallet made out of the same skin so she reccomneded me to him. He brought me a grocery bag of scraps to make this wallet. It cameout really nice. Another satisfied Bad Love Leather customer.

Been out of touch for a while.

I have a lot of orders on my plate right now.

Due to that overwhelming amount of orders I am closing off ALL custom orders for the next month or so.

Thanks for your continued support of Bad Love Leather

If your interested in one similar to this PM me and let me know. I currently have parts set aside to assemble. So its pretty much ready to go.


Thanks for Lookin!

Check these out! I do a job for a weight loss Yoga ranch every other month or so. They usually order about 100 of these bands as giveaways for completion of their program. They're a dark brown leather with antiqued brass snaps with the ranch's logo. Its a GREAT promotional gift OR a GREAT wedding guest giveaway gift or WHATEVER your promotional needs may be.

Thought for the day:

Ohhhhhhh Man, this may not be for you. If your the flimsy leather cuff wearin type. Quit readin, yer just gonna get yer Hot Topic Feelins hurt....


Smaller, more compact. 1-3/8 inch tall. Made from super thick black cowhide with quarter inch black lace. This cuff is the furthest thing from an understatement. Yea its thinner than the ones I usually make but its super compressed and as always SERIOUS MEAT. When you touch and feel this cuff in yer hands you'll know right away that NO OTHER CUFF MAKER can hold a candle to my cuff work. Built for life and built to take beatings EVERY DAY! Don't think so? Buy one and see for your self. I believe in my work so much that if you get this and don;t think its over the top quality and a HEAVY DUTY hand made product I'll gladly refund your money. I'd rather have my work in the hands of the true leather connoisseur.

I can make these in wrist sizes 6.5 - 8.5. If you need help measuring for good fit. message me.

Whats on the Bench

Custom Stingray Biker Tri Fold

Bad Ass Double D Ring Belt

1" Little Rib bracelet.

Work, Work, Work

Midnight. Work, Work, Work.

I'd have it no other way. Sure beats some of the Kooks I've worked for over the years.

Are you Bad Enough

My plate is FULL.
I have a lot of orders on my bench right now.Sometimes after working on orders all day I try to get some of the ideas that come to me while I'm working.This one is a 3.5 cuff!!! Bad Ass Buffalo shoulder with textured OD Green studs backed up on a thick dyed veg tan. Serious meat.This cuff isn't for just anyone. You gotta be a BAD MuthaF**R to Pull this one off. I may finish off the edges on this with a thick quarter inch lace or I may sew it together and polish the edges.

Made to order only. If you want this one you need a size 6.75 to 7" wrist.

Tell Yer Friends!

The idea of this "Fan Page" or a "Blog Page"  is to reach people. Its such a big internet world out there even though some folks say the internet has made the world smaller. I still see it as a vast sea of people out there looking at all kinds of stuff all the time.

I know I do. I have a whole load of crap I look at and lust after on a weekly basis. Some within my means and some not.

Having said that I encourage you to check in with me here as often as you can. Interact with me. Ask questions about Bad love Leather. Look for Deals. Ask for Deals. Think of somehting soooooo unusual that I can make for you out of leather. I pride myself in being to make just about everything but shoes and clothes. So thats a challange I'm puttin out. Bring it on.

Lets face it, leather goods out there wherever your shopping are not made for quality and the long haul.

AND your paying some serious retail for crap made in Mexico, Pakistan and many other foriegn countries. That money is helping another countries economy. If you really want to see the economy of this country get better then its all about buying from the small business and the American Craftsman. Think about it. Its not a hard concept to grasp. You buy stuff from me. In turn I buy my supplies from as many US suppliers that I can, then I also buy as much as I can locally to feed and entertain my family. I don;t mind paying the local guy $100 to make tools for me. I'm putting that money back in my own pocket in the long run.

So if you care about seeing a friend and an American Craftsman suceed. Check in with me. You arrived here for one reason or another. Try this. Tell ten of your friends either by Facebook or even in person about my work. Let them know how you know me. Tell them about the photos I post and how good looking the work is. Better yet tell them about the purchase you made and how rock solid the quality is.

Lots of Orders In!

I've got lots of orders in right now.

I've also been dealing with Bells Palsy this last week too. Basically the muscles on the right side of my face have not been working. It sucks. Can't talk much and I've had some killer headachses. This isn't permanant but could last up to a month. It hasn't affected my hands but the overall weight of what it is has slowed me down a bit.

On the brighter side, I have been offering some good discounts on two of my better selling cuffs:

Pn sale now for $75. Usually $100. Through the end of March

On Sale for $100. Usually $150. Through the end of March.

Also, I'm offering TWO of these amazing SUPER THICK belts for $75. Usually they are $50 per belt!!!

I offer these belts in:

Black

Dark Brown

Light Brown

Mahogany

Olive Drab

Burgundy

I'm offering lots of great deals so get on it!

But on another note.....

You read my blog?

You smoke cigars?

Check these out:


Cigar Caddy Brand cigar travel case. Initially the foam provided with this box I didn't like so I replaced it the better foam. Foam is cigar shaped form fitted.  Box has a puck humidification device and 5 trays that hold 6 cigars a piece.

This is a model 5200. They do not make this model anymore.

Box O ring is still in great condition and is waterproof. There is also a pressure release valve if you fly.

Pelican Case converted into cigar case.

The case has some life and road wear but for the most part is in great shape.

It holds three foam trays that are cigar shaped and a good moisture holding foam to keep humidity good for the cigars.

It has a Burns 100 humidification device and two strips that are supposed to tell humidity and temperature. Not sure if these still work since its been a while since I've used these.

Still its a great bomb proof cigar travel humidor.

Current Works

Currently I'm trying to shape up some orders for "That Belt". You know the Fifty Dollar Strap. The belt that is almost a quarter inch thick!

This belt comes the standard veg tan and I dye it what ever color you want.

Here are the colors I dye them:

Black
Dark Brown
Light Brown
Mahogany (My Favorite!!!)
Burgundy
Red
Olive Drab - Military Green
Green

Belts can come with a buckle or without. The buckle I usually include is a standard roller buckle.

I usually include the belt with snaps so you can change the buckle around to something else you can.

If you read my blog you know that I offer cheaper prices here than the three other places you can currently find me on line.

I can do this belt for Blog readers for $40. I sell it everywhere else for $50.

Plus Shipping!

The catch is you gotta sign up as a follower of this blog and message me through the blog.

***SALE*****
TWO of these belts for $75!!!! Thats $25 cheaper than normal!

Bad Love Leather - Coin Bag

I have a biker friend that feels he's as much of a Pirate as the good Captain Jack Sparrow.

He's an everyday biker (is there any other kind?) and he lives by the biker code.

So, he asked me to make this coin bag to hold his schillings and "other" items.

Fun project.
