Some Nice Leather from sureshot45 Login/Join

I emailed sureshot45 because I was in the market for a pad-folio, something that would hold a legal pad and would have some pockets on the opposite side for holding miscellaneous papers. I saw some that I liked online, but I thought it would be much better to buy from someone I "knew."

He did an outstanding job. Lots of communication back and forth to make sure it was a good design for me, and he gave me a ton of choices on what leather I wanted to use. The pictures really don't do it justice.

I wanted a more natural look with markings and everything. He also has "smoother" leathers as well which would not have the markings that mine has, but for me this leather was exactly what I wanted.

He does excellent work, I have one of his wallets from a recent karma. That padfolio is SHARP!

Agreed. I have a piece of his and it's very well done and I use it all the time.

Wow, that's very nice. It should also wear in well, looking better with age and use.

I've just purchased seven bifold card cases. The size for CC, DL, and business cards. I plan on starting my nephews off right. With RO-ARK leather.

I'll get pics up soon.

Next, a two-pocket pouch for my scrapers, 2-1/2" x 6".

He's done several pieces, for me, from belts to wallets, to knife sheaths. Even a clutch purse for my wife that blew her mind!

Highly recommend.

Ok, so for those of us that haven’t had the opportunity to work with this seemingly outstanding member before, does he have a website or is it all email interaction? I’m in need of a new wallet but so far have not found what I’m after.

Really glad you like it and thank you for everyone for the public support. I really enjoy doing the custom work for everyone so don't hesitate to contact me.

I've added my etsy store link to my signature line and will try to keep an add up in the classifieds going forward.

This! Is there a website? I am in the market for a wallet and would also consider a padfolio.

The world is waiting for a single pocket Blue Chip Pick belt holster in soft leather. Flip snap top. Two belt loops or one wide loop to keep it level.

When a guy slings his mando and goes to bass, he wants his perfect pick in a safe spot easily retrieved.

Here are the bifold cases, plus my year-old copy:
