Fitzwater Leather

I love it when the opportunity comes around to dance in a palette I don’t frequently spend time with. To exercise the mind and achieve multiple layers and elements with limited colors actually feels more liberating to me than restricting. Especially when you’re a gold over silver person like me (in visual appearance, not FD ranks 🤣)

Our XL shields are not just for retirement. It’s a giant bookmark of time spent. Whether that be at a certain rank, station, department, or existence.

Products used:
- 13-15oz vegtan saddle skirting
- swivel knife
- steep textured bevelers
- black pro dye
- paint

Switched up the old station logo to feature his own dog (bull terrier) instead of a bulldog, with a splash of Italian pride, and one of our signature textured red colorways. 👊🏻🤌🏻

Sturdiest, most vibrant paints for Leathercraft I’ve layers hands on. My go-to in the paint department!

NAME ANOTHER SHIELD MAKER MAKING SHIELDS FOR GTA. 😂
This is a first! has used some of our work for inspiration in his online fire department mods. These mods give players who want to role play as firemen in the game a more realistic experience. Given the digital inspiration, El Pancho wanted some of our actual leather art to hang in his studio! Stay safe in the streets, heard it’s wild out there! 😂
