Made to hold up traffic
And also your pants
Unsaddled stamped leather designs take traditional saddle stamping tools and put them through the lens of an art punk. Anything to use the tools in new and different ways - dialing the complexity all the way up or reducing it to one-note jams of a single tool repeated across the hide. The results vary, but all are one-of-a-kind designs.
Neo Geo patterns are the bad kid offspring of punk energy with minimal aesthetics, one-note jams of repetition and density, using the tools wrong just to see what happens. Think Atari meets IM Pei meets Richard Hell.
Unsaddled suspenders are a bit unconventional -using custom slide loops that go around a belt instead of clipping or buttoning directly onto your pants. Takes the stress off the pants and the slide loops combine form and function.
-Suspenders come in two widths; a ribbon-thin 1/2" or stouter 3/4".
-All suspenders are made-to-order in the pattern, color, and hardware of your choosing.
-Please allow 4-6 weeks lead time as all items are 100% handmade in the artist’s studio, from first cut to final finish coat.
-Sustainable and eco-conscious: We source our carving hide from Wickett & Craig - one of two natural tanneries left in the US. This means the leather is sourced sustainably from US slaughterhouses and tanned with Oak tannins only, no Chromium or other additives.
-Our leather begins raw and is hand-finished in six steps - each piece is oiled, dyed, resisted, antiqued, burnished, and top-coated using natural, water-based dye and finishes. We use Bee Natural, Fenice, Eco-Flo, and Tokonole in our finishing process.
-Choice of Natural Brass or Nickel Plate hardware and buckle.
