Whipping Post - Musician's Leather Goods

Interesting Story behind Whipping Post Leather. This Atlanta based leather goods company was founded by Ryan Barr, as something that could age with time and maintain its classic appeal like any well-made instrument. He always wanted to create a bag for his guitar that matched its character, which is : "Despite being banged up, scratched and abused, it looks and plays great". He made lots of sketch and searched for the best leather and he ended up in Mexico, working with the owner of one of the finest leather shop in the world.

So Far, we can find 2 products from Whipping Post, Guitar Cases and Wallets. The Guitar case is amazing, using 100% Full Grain Leather, hand sewn with marine grade threading, comes with strap that works as a backpack or shoulder strap. With features like that, no wonder why the price is pretty up high.

Meanwhile the Wallet comes in a very simple easy wallet design. Available in 2 colors (Mojave Sand and Georgia Brown), Whipping Post's Wallet comes with 3 Credit Card slots, Cash Compartment, pocket for guitar pick, and Driver license compartment. And off course, the wallets are also using 100% Full Grain Leather.

Ryan Barr said that he could've made this bag cheaper and tried to sell millions of them, but that wasn't his goal. Whipping Post used the toughest, most expensive full grain leather you can find.

Symmetry Goods - Hook Belt

Husband-and-wife duo Ted Byrnes and Gena Tuso launched Symmetry Goods, a collection of men’s and women’s accessories, late last year.

The partnership between Ted and Gena is a great blend of creative backgrounds. Ted is a musician and graphic artist, and Gena works as a wardrobe stylist. They combine their expertise to create a collection of interesting and distinct offerings.

Symmetry Goods is grounded in honest craftsmanship. All of the company’s items are carefully made by hand in Los Angeles.

The company makes some pretty amazing scarves, but what really caught our eye was the Hook belt. It’s a take on the traditional pelican hook belt, but with some very well-executed updates. The hook closure is much smaller than the traditional, and the belt itself has been narrowed significantly. The result is a sleek belt that’s (in our opinion) an improvement on the original.

"Hook is our version of a classic. Its closure is a play on the traditional pelican hook; this one is cast expressly for us here in Los Angeles and is 1 3/4 inches long (much smaller than expected)."

Details:
-hand-made in the USA
-pelican hook cast for Symmetry in Los Angeles
-one size fits most

Leffot - The Fold

Couple days ago, a friend of mine posted this awesome wallet design, and i was like "damn, that's brilliant!". The wallet's called "the Fold". "the Fold" is a wallet product from New York based, Leffot. It was made from Horse leather Horween Shell cordovan. And yup, it is just like that.

"These svelte sheaths are about as low tech as you can get, just a single piece of Horween shell cordovan, three folds, and voila your cash is snugly secured in horse ass leather for safekeeping. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
