09.01.2022 Just the start of our week of Belt & Bag making. Hobble belts! Look great and built to last.

09.01.2022 Check out this modification to these boots. Had to reduce the tops of thes boots by an inch to fit skinner legs. This process is a little tricky. 1- Quick fit with the customer 2- Draw the modification line a little each side of the zip, of course shaping to match the existing shape of the boot and then a taper to shape back in.... 3- Unpick the zip,cut one side. 4- Sew in zip on that side. 5- Refit boot onto customer 6- Cut other side, sew zip in. End result is a nice flowing zip and a happy customer. See more

04.01.2022 Wow last week was a big week for birthdays. This leather duffle bag was an 18th birthday present. I must say what an awesome gift! No matter how many times we make these bags we always appreciate how stunning they look when made.

04.01.2022 Our latest duffle bag. Made from black leather. Just another addition to our other 2 colours. Looks great.

04.01.2022 These boots have new elastics put in. They then needed a good old fashioned polish. It is amazing to see the before and after pictures. Angelus shoe wax polish and Joseph Lyddy Neutral dubbin are all we use and recommend. We also sell both products. The results are fantastic. #ruddysaddlery #leatherboots #bootcleaning #bundabergbusiness #bundaberg @ Ruddy Custom Boot & Saddle Co.
