As I have said previously, I like to create my own designs and templates for our "Unique" leather products. One of my favorites, which has also become a favorite with my customers, is the Can Koozie with a Handle.
When I first created them I called them the "Got a Handle on your Beer?" Koozie. But there are so many things that you can do with designs on leather, we put collegiate logos and anything that our customers could think up and have requested. As such, the can koozie with a handle has become one of our most popular items. "It's the Handle that makes the difference." It truly is. Because of the arthritis in my hands,I designed the handle so that a full can of beer or soda feels lighter when you pick it up by the handle rather than pick the can up by itself with your fingers and thumb. Most people are surprised by how much lighter the can feels with this handle. I also designed the can koozie and a Velcro Tab to make it easier to remove the empty can and it will also tighten around a bottle of beer or water as well. AND one more thing, since leather is a natural insulator, these Koozies will keep your beer or soda cool and your hand comfortable while sitting out on the deck with friends. We are always happy to do a made-to-order custom item for our customers. I enjoy discussing what the customer wants and then creating it for them. A customer took a picture of the can koozie, pictured below, that I made for him after he saw them on our website and wanted one with his initials on it. He gave us a nice Google review and here's what he had to say... "I received my Leather Can Koozie and wow am I Impressed. The handle on the Koozie is what makes this product so special and unique. If its a beer bottle or can or even a water bottle this Koozie does the trick. I absolutely love it. Frank was able to get my initials on the side and made it personal! Really appreciate it!" That makes it all worthwhile and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Until next time, All the best. Frank, the KC Leather Guy

I always have scrap leather lying around especially when I'm testing new tools. Every so often, I look around my leather workshop and think of something that I need that would facilitate my leatherwork projects.
I decided I needed some place to keep all of my lacing and stitching needles, so I used some of that scrap leather and created this little item. I used an old sock that was getting a lot of holes in it as the stuffing which seems to work pretty well. Now, I can set it on my work table and not have to search for a stitching or lacing needle or even a sewing needle in my tool drawers. I got a lot of views and comments when I posted it on the Tandy Leather Facebook Group of which I am a member. Once again, that is why I do what I do. Until next time, All the best.
