Announcement

After more than 5 years, I’ve decided to shut down my leather business.  Therefore, I will no longer be taking any orders.

If you’re looking for a holster, please contact my friend Doug Childers at Bear Creek Holsters – http://www.bearcreekholsters.com

Thank you for your business and interest!

The JGL HHS Wallet

JGL HHS Wallet in Light Brown HorsehideThis just might be the perfect wallet – if that’s even possible.  I don’t carry much in my wallet and it normally finds its home in my front pocket, so it needs to stay compact.  If you’re like me – maybe you carry a couple cards, an ID or two, a few loose bills and a couple receipts – then this wallet may fit you just right.  The fold-over-snap-closure gives this wallet the extra measure of security to keep your cards, cash and receipts safe. Yet, you can also have fast access to an ID or your debit card in the outside pocket on the back.

The HHS Wallet only comes in horsehide, making it thin, smooth and extremely sturdy.  Available in natural, light brown (pictured), mahogany or black and selling for just $65 plus $5 to ship.  As always, the hand-stitiching, attention to detail and the highest quality leather that will last a lifetime make this wallet a wise place to put your money – so to speak.  Made in the USA in Palm Harbor, FL.  Order yours today at chad@johnstongunleather.com!

The JGL Minimalist Passport Wallet

JGL Minimalist Passport Wallet in Mahogany CowhideUp until now, whenever I need to carry my passport, it was usually carried in one of three ways: either loose in my pocket, creating extra bulk with my wallet already there; in a passport case that’s too big for my pocket, which means one more thing to carry around; or in a pouch in my backpack, which is the best of the three options, but still less convenient to get to. Not anymore.

Introducing the JGL Minimalist Passport Wallet.  I have a great habit of cleaning out my wallet every few days.  It might be a sickness.  I don’t like a bulky wallet and I’m constantly cleaning things out of there, which migrate to it that I don’t need.  The JGL Minimalist Passport Wallet will help you stay organized and you carry what you need.

The JGL Minimalist Passport Wallet in Mahogany CowhidePlus it’s secure.  Choose the optional snap closure (pictured) or the shock-cord elastic band which is stitched onto the wallet to keep your essential items right where you need them.

The JGL Minimalist Passport Wallet is made of the highest quality cowhide – the same 6-7 oz leather as our holsters.  It’s super sturdy and will stand up to whatever adventure you take it on, but lives up to its minimalist name with it’s sleek, non-bulky outlines.  It’s available in light brown, mahogany (pictured) and black, and sells for just $50.  For an even more luxurious feel, choose horsehide leather and add $15.  You’ll love the great attention to detail and care put into each custom made wallet.  Contact me at chad@johnstongunleather.com today and let’s get started on the last wallet you’ll ever need.

Fixed Blade IWB Panels

One of my newer items is what I call the Fixed Blade IWB Panel. This design came about at Publix. Right after I got my ESEE 4, I was carrying it one day on my belt with the supplied MOLLE locks. Walking into the store, I suddenly became very aware of my knife. And I felt like anyone else could be as well. So I walked back out to my car and my knife went in the glove box. From there I decided that I need to carry this every day, but in such a way that it was concealed.

The IWB Panel is a simple design. The leather is cut to match the knife’s standard kydex or nylon locking sheath.  IWB Panel for ESEE 4For the ESEE 4, I used the screws that came with the knife outfit.

IWB Panel for Becker BK11

For the Becker BK11, I added some Chicago screws, like what are in my Combo Pocket Holsters, so the panel is simple and easy to put on and take off, depending on your desired method of carry any given day.

I like to carry IWB items at about 4 o’clock. When I do, even with the big ESEE 4, sitting in a desk chair, in the car – or anywhere – is simple, comfortable and I hardly even notice the knife being there. Now, either of these knives are super easy to carry, and always concealed.

The IWB panel is made of top quality cowhide and is available in light brown, mahogany or black, and sells for $25 plus $5 to ship.

If you have an ESEE 4 or a BK11, or any other fixed blade that you’d be interested in adding a custom IWB Panel to it, give me a shout and let’s create something!  As always, you can contact me at chad@johnstongunleather.com.
