Proud Patriots Serving Proud Patriots
Hand Crafting Gear for You in the Foothills of the Appalachian Mountains

Carl owner of Gear for Patriots and his wifeI had a vision to be different, to have a business with a different perspective. While times are changing, our values have not. We live in a world of instant gratification, where we order and expect delivery in moments. While I am guilty of this, those products are not the same as one that was made for me, just for me. The custom item I ordered that was made by a craftsman or artisan is the one I remember, the one that is my favorite, the one that I cherish.

I want to craft gear for you, that is just for you, the way that you want it. I want you to be proud of what I have made for you, knowing that waiting for it to be made just for you is worth the time and the dime. I have connected with other craftsmen and artisans that feel the same way. We should build each other up and support each other to grow together, serving you.

Thank you, Patriots for putting your trust in us, and supporting our vision.

My bio

It feels like just a short while ago that I bought my first piece of leather and made what may be one of the ugliest holsters you have ever seen. That was over 17 years ago. I have been making gunleather ever since. Now the gray is creeping in and I have thousands of holsters under my belt. I am proud of the journey, and I am blessed to be here and to share my work.

Who I am can be summed up in 3 songs:

  1. Lee Greenwood “God Bless The USA” because I am proud to be an American
  2. Lynyrd Skynyrd “Simple Man” because this song speaks to me, and how I live
  3. Luke Bryan “Huntin’, Fishin’, and Lovin’ Every Day” because while we all have different likes and hobbies, we are blessed to be here every day

This is not my first gun leather business, but it is the one I am most excited about. I want to thank my wife for all the love and support. And I want to thank my friends and family for standing behind me. And if you are reading this, thank you Patriots.
