Thank you for visiting Mason Leather!

My name is Lee Mason and I have been making leather Cartridge Cuffs, Rifle Slings and other outdoor leather gear since 2010. I am proud to have served hunters and sportsmen across this great country of ours from Maine to California and from Florida to Alaska and international customers across Europe, Scandinavia and as far away as New Zealand! You can trust that Mason Leather will deliver dependable hunting and outdoor gear made from the highest quality leather that both looks amazing and performs great in the field.

Being a life-long hunter, I appreciate gear that performs and adds to the experience of the hunt. Besides looking good, my gear is built to last and perform when you need it to. Notice the picture of me and my Mossberg Maverick? You're darn right I've got one of my cartridge cuffs on there, and my other rifles and shotguns are outfitted the same way. I use my gear to make sure you get the absolute best.

Check out the shop, explore the photo gallery, blog page, and reach out to me with any questions. Happy hunting!

Mason Leather belts are hand-cut from the finest American tanned English bridle leathers, tanned at the famous Chahin tannery. Starting with an entire side of leather (half a steer), I cut a straight edge down one side as a guide, then feed the side through my hand-crank strap cutter adjusted to cut 1.5 inch thick straps. From there, I inspect each strap and scrap any that have structural imperfections. Then, I cut the tips using a custom cutting die I designed and had made right here in the USA. The die precision cuts the classic English point tip and the seven adjustment holes, each exactly 1 inch apart. After you order I select a strap for your belt, measure, mark and cut to your belt size by punching the buckle-end with another Mason Leather-designed die. The length is cut so that your size has you buckling to one of the center-most holes, that way you have several inches adjustment tighter or looser. Lastly, I skive down the buckle end to be slightly thinner to reduce bulk and install your solid antique brass buckle using matching solid antique brass Chicago screws. From my shop to your waist, each belt is handmade just for you.
