Anvil Customs Leather Blog

Our wallet chain customers are typically pretty happy with their purchase. As a result, they tend to want to wear their chains everywhere. Occasionally we hear stories of panic however when a customer tries to take their chain onto an airplane, or to a concert, or some other event where maybe security doesn't allow such items...

We took a short hiatus on making seats to focus on getting all the wallet and belt orders we've had coming in. Short of working on the remaining Zebra wallets, we're (humblebrag inbound) doing a dang fine job keeping up on orders right now.

The fact of the matter is, most of the belts you buy at the store are garbage... Belts are at their best when they're uncomplicated. Simple. We take 1, sometimes 2 (for exotic) strips of high quality leather and give them a clean crisp edge. We size them, sew them, wax them and then add the brass hardware. That's it.

Before the concept of YouTube comments, before Facebook, yes even before the practically ancient "MySpace" there were Forums. As a company that cherishes things that are done the old fashioned way its no different with matters of the digital age. 

I had a great question from a NEW Anvil Crew member today who messaged me.  He was wondering how it all worked as far as ordering an Anvil Wallet.  It made me think there might be others who are new or might need direction on How To Order.  Here’s what I told him:

From time to time, I like to shout out my favorite people, things, places, etc.  Below is a short list of my current Likes.  If you've followed me for a while, you know I don't at all mind shouting out my liking of fellow leatherworkers who also are in the business.  So don't be surprised by my choices here, I would love to see everyone WIN at success....by now, you should know that.

Springfield Missouri is a beautiful town. It's where Anvil calls home, and it's also where the 8th annual "Birthplace of Route 66" festival is happening! If you're lucky enough to be in town be sure to stop by the shop and say hello!
