Orders & Ordering questions

After you place an order you will get your confirmation of that order, since most items are made to order and vary in the level of customization. The time frame varies we ask for you to allow 2-4 weeks plus shipping. A email showing tracking will be sent at the time of shipping.

Sometimes our emails are accidentally filtered into spam folders. Please check your spam folder and mark our message as "not spam" to ensure you receive future emails, including your shipping confirmation with tracking information.

Fill out the form on our Contact page "I need to make a correction on an order I placed." Provide the Order number as well.

Be sure to receive confirmation from us within a few days that the changes have been made - if you don't hear back, please reach out again.

Please note that if production has already started, it may be too late to make changes depending on the type of modification requested. In such cases, the order will be completed as originally specified.

Important: Do not reply to "no-reply" emails and do not text message us. Use the contact form only.

Orders are fulfilled in the order they're received to ensure no customer's order gets pushed back in the production queue (except when Rush Orders take priority).

Store items, even when customized, typically take 2 to 4 weeks to build plus shipping time. Fully custom projects not listed in our store—such as knife sheaths or other specialized items—may require additional time. Some orders may ship faster while others take longer.

A "Rush Upgrade" is available in our upgrade menu. Purchasing this option moves your order to the front of the production line.

A "Rush Upgrade" is available in the upgrade menu—simply select the item you'd like expedited. Your order will be moved to the front of our production queue and completed as quickly as possible without compromising quality. This option typically offers better value than paying for expedited shipping and usually cuts production time in half.

We take great care in packaging your leather goods to ensure they arrive in perfect condition after inspection:

Protective wrapping: Each item is wrapped in acid-free paper to prevent scratching and maintain the leather's natural oils.

All items such as collars are test buckled up, then unbuckled before packaging.

Certain products are conditioned right before shipping, for travel.

All orders ship in reinforced cardboard boxes sized appropriately to prevent shifting during transit.

All belt buckles are wrapped in tissue paper, then rolled and wrapped again in paper.

For larger orders, any packaging such as packing foam, bubble wrap or packing peanuts are all from recycled packaging.

Business cards and care instructions are typical for majority of our items.

This comprehensive packaging ensures your leather goods arrive looking exactly as they did when they left our workshop in Ontario.

Shipping

Shipping questions to help you plan accordingly

You will get an email showing your item has been shipped and the tracking number will be supplied with that email. (unless it's a non tracked item)

Couriers sometimes deliver packages to neighbors or update tracking information before the package actually arrives. If this occurs, please allow an additional 1-2 business days. In the meantime, check around your property—including your mailbox, garage, and back door—and ask nearby neighbors if they've received your package. After that time has passed reach out to us. Do not open your own ticket with Canada Post or the Couriers, this will only delay the process of us being able to help.

You must double check your shipping address prior to placing an order.

We cannot redirect your packages once we have shipped an item, however since most of our items are made to order. If you reach out prior to shipment we can change the ship to address, but still be sure to get confirmation from us that the change has been noted. Do not assume otherwise.

Yes, we ship worldwide. International shipping takes 10-21 business days depending on location. However delays due to customs and boarders regulations are out of our control. Due to this we cannot guarantee a timeframe of arrival.

Since most of our items are made to order we have a build time of 2 to 4 weeks on average. Plus shipping times depending on location. Rush upgrades for the manufacturing stage are available.

No - we cannot mark items as "gift" on customs declaration forms.

International shipments (outside the USA or Canada) may incur import taxes, customs duties, and/or fees imposed by the destination country.

We are required to comply with the import laws and regulations of all countries we ship to, which includes providing accurate declarations of package contents.

Our workshop in Chesley, Ontario is currently not open to the public. However, if you live nearby and would like to save on shipping costs, you can select "Pick-up" at checkout to waive shipping charges. Once your item is complete, we'll call you to arrange a convenient pickup time.

Upgrades & Items

We love our upgrades, but there may be some limits check out these FAQ's

It's important to understand that a Rush Upgrade expedites production by moving your order to the front of the queue - it does not upgrade shipping speed. However, this option is typically faster and more cost-effective than upgrading to expedited shipping methods.

No, we cannot add spikes to 5/8s deluxe or 1/2 inch collars, its simply to small.

Since we make each item from scratch to order, usually when an item says sold out we are out of the hides or hardware for that item and have put it as "sold out". However in most cases "sold out" means we most likely wont get that leather in again. Its best to find an alternative item you like in our shop.
