Tomorrow during an open studio I’m doing free minor repairs (10 minute or less) so if you’re missing a rivet, need a hole punched, or a strap shortened stop by. I’ll be here Noon-4:00, come check out the studio, chat with me about projects, or general leather questions. 236 E Pender St. Vancouver

Some of my impact toys got tested out at the Kinky Queer market this past weekend. Available at: messrs.ca/collections/...

We are down to the last 4 bandanas from the first batch! These lovelies are available at Messrs.ca till someone snatches them up. Don’t worry, a new batch is coming for Autumn 🍂 😁

One of my big projects for the summer is this short bar vest. I’m really happy with how the pattern turned out and the first few vests I made. I currently have the pattern in L and XL. When I finish grading the pattern down for smaller sizes you will see it in the store at messrs.ca #meninleather

I’ve been making these wide kidney/ weight belts and love how they look. I’m currently offering them in black and brown, custom sized made to order, for $185 CAD. Message me here or check out my website to order! Messrs.ca
