— In the Workshop —
Every saddle that leaves this shop has been worked over by hand from the first cut to the final stitch.
Justin Martin, Maker

Rooted in the western tradition.

Justin Martin's fascination with leather started young. After trading work for his first set of tools, he was hooked — and the craft never left him. In 2022, Martin Leather was officially born.

Every saddle, belt, and piece of tack is built by hand, with the same quality and care he's been chasing since the beginning.
