Monogram Made to Endure
We design and manufacture lasting goods, knowing you depend on your gear in the field. Our signature rugged leather is a material that wears, bleeds and patinas with time. Our monogramming service is our way of personalising your leather gear.
For centuries, monograms have been marks of identity, ownership and legacy. They were used by Hudson's Bay Company trappers to mark company property, Pacific Northwest loggers to identify their gear, and, of course, old-time outdoorsmen like Theodore Roosevelt to organize his field journals.
As the saying goes—what works then works now, and for a good reason. Good leather gear begs to be challenged in the great outdoors. The monogram is a way to add a touch of personal significance.
Our Monogram Process
Imagine walking into our workshop, the rich smell of leather filling the air. You’re greeted by a master leatherworker, his hands worn but steady, ready to transform leather into something uniquely yours.
Your leather piece is crisp and ready to bear your mark. Every monogram is handcrafted the good old way, using brass letters and a hot stamping machine. Each brass character has been machined and hand-grounded with precision. The monogram is carefully placed into a leveling fixture, ensuring exact placement. Once the temperature has risen to 90 degrees (194 fahrenheit for imperial folks), then and only then, with unwavering focus, we emboss your monogram into the leather.
