Howdy, my name is Eddie Hubbard. Some people call me Tex & some call me Hoss. I reckon that's what I get for being a Texas midget, huh. I am a Native Texan from the west Texas town of Lubbock for over 42 years. My Dad was from Texas & my Mom was from Tennessee. So I have the best of both worlds. I am a Texan 1st & a Volunteer 2nd so I always say remember the Alamo. I was your normal kid back in the old days. I was into athletics & competed in such as rodeo, football, basketball, baseball. I received my education at the school of hard knocks & am self taught in the leather work that I do.
Horses & the western way of life has always been a passion of mine. Ain't no prettier animal on earth in my opinion. I have always been impressed with the leather gear that went along with this lifestyle.
I am a maker of custom leather goods such as cowboy gear, hunting gear, musicians gear, biker gear, etc. I have been making custom leather goods for 20+ years now. It all started as a hobby for the needs of myself, my family, my friends & has grown from there. I enjoy taking raw materials & seeing what I can make out of it. When finished, I Proudly stamp my name on the piece & I can Proudly say, Made in America.
Have a good day now & thanks for stopping by,
Adios,

For Custom Made Chest & Shoulder HolstersI could not be happier with the chest holster Mr. Hubbard created for me. It is a work of art, and masterfully made. The speed with which he created it was surprising to me, as I expected something so carefully made to take much longer. My gun fits the holster perfectly, despite the fact that I sent him only an outline of my gun. In truth, this holster is worth far more than he charged.

For Pistol CasesI have never seen a so perfect work! Mr. Hubbard is one of the best leather worker in the world, and i know what i write, because my father was a Cobbler. Thank you!

For Knife scabbardEddie was a pleasure to work with. There were a couple of things I wanted and he went above and beyond.
He really listened and then took it from there and he really nailed it.
The quality and care he put into the sheath made it much so better than I could have imagined.
He's a good man to deal with and the entire process from start to finish was excellent.

For Handmade Leather Knife SheathsEddie is extremely talented with his leatherwork. My new knife sheath not only matches the beauty of the knife, but the build quality is unlike any off-the-shelf knife sheath I've ever seen. You simply cannot beat hand made, and you cannot beat Eddie Hubbard's quality. I love my sheath!
