Idaho Leather Company

[Hardcase]

Other than living a few miles down the road from these folks (and owning one of their really nice belts in a fairly rotund size), I have absolutely nothing to do with them. But I saw this little photo gallery on the web site of our local paper, so I thought that I'd share it.

If you can find it, Ben Wetzel has a really interesting little shop!

Looks like he puts out a very nice product.

I had Ben make a holster belt for me several years ago, and wear it every day, to church, the office and the woods. It looks great and would pull a train off its rails if it had to. Boise has some nice leather makers there, with Milt Sparks and Idaho Leather a few miles apart.

Very interesting and a great set of photos! This gentleman obviously is very skilled and his products are top notch! Thanks for sharing!

Alot more machine made than hand made but that's what's needed for production work.Still looks like a very nice rig.Dave
