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.

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

Another artist at my studio gave me a bunch of nylon strapping in yellow and pink, so I’ve been playing around with it. If this piece doesn’t sell at my next market look for it on the website messrs.ca

They have a Bob style haircut, chains and chokers around the neck as well as chains connecting the wrist to a chain around the belt.

I made this kidney belt as part of a Gladiator look. I was too excited about the belt to wait until the whole look la done to share.
Check out my other costume pieces at messrs.ca or inquire about a custom piece of gear 😉😁
A broad brown leather belt, not unlike a weightlifter belt. The main body of the belt is 5 inches wide with two, 1 inch belts running around the exterior that buckle in the front. The front of the belt is an inch wider than the main body. The belt is seen from above and front in the top image From behind and down in the second image. A shirtless, heavy set man wearing a broad kidney belt that is secured around his waist by two thinner belts all made of brown leather with brass finishing.
