About Us
As a guide and packer in the backcountry, it’s not hard to see that apex predators have particular skills that set them apart from other animals, making them successful at staying alive. Their hunger and love of the hunt drives them to find and take down their prey. Wolves are particularly good at what they do. Out of respect and admiration for the superior hunting abilities of these creatures, the name Apex Custom Leather was born because it seemed fitting for the level of skill and craftsmanship we wish to put into each leather project we create.
Bird and Kim were born and raised in small towns in Missouri and Kentucky. We grew up with a passion for the outdoors that has turned us both into hunting guides and mule packers. Those passions along with spending extensive amounts of time in the backcountry of Idaho, Montana, and Colorado has helped us to understand the need for quality tack and gear. This has led us to our newest passion of leatherwork. We take great pride in our work and craftsmanship from the smallest projects such as hatbands, watch bands, and leather Yeti wraps to our custom gun wraps, tack, and chinks/chaps. We hope that you enjoy our products as much as we enjoy making them for you whether it’s something we have personally made or a custom product with your ideas.
