The Leather Guy was born in 1997 from the desire to relax on weekends and spend time with our 2 children (then toddlers) and friends at Rendezvous. For those that don't know, Rendezvous are pre-1840 reenactments of the fur trade era. We slept in canvas tents, cooked over open fire and used no electricity...relaxing. We would sell 'little things' like beads, baskets, antlers. We 'accidentally' ran across leather and Keith thought maybe that would sell at Rendezvous. We tried it and to say the least, it has been a success.
