Caliber Leather - Josh

Most people buy a watch band. In 2015, I decided to make one.

That single project sparked a passion for leatherwork that I never saw coming. My journey wasn't glamorous; it was a pile of failed wallets and late nights spent learning the intricacies of the craft. I found that working with my hands—feeling the grain and weight of a hide—brought me a sense of purpose I hadn't found elsewhere.

After years of honing my skills and selling through Etsy, I took the ultimate leap of faith in 2019: I quit my job to build Caliber Leather Company. I am incredibly grateful to this community. Whether you’ve been here since the box-cutter days or you’re just discovering my work, thank you for supporting a small-batch maker.
