Welcome to Mossman Leatherworks
Heirloom carry goods crafted by hand using traditional saddle stitching and full-grain leather designed to outlast mass-produced products. Each Mossman piece is hand stitched using saddle-stitch — the strongest method in leathercraft. Our Pueblo and Buttero veg-tan leathers develop a patina unique to their owner over a lifetime
The Workbench
My name is Michael James, and Mossman Leather Works is a one-man leather workshop dedicated to timeless craftsmanship. Each piece is cut, stitched, and finished by hand using premium Pueblo and Buttero vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Italy. Every item that leaves the Mossman Leather Works bench is cut, stitched, and burnished by hand. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just honest leather goods built to age beautifully.
Machines are fast — but hands are honest.
Saddle stitching is stronger than machine seams and full-grain leather wears in, not out.When you buy from me, you’re not buying a factory product. You’re buying hours of work, lifelong durability, and a piece meant to be carried for decades. Italian vegetable-tanned leather. Saddle stitched by hand. Built to last generations.
