Just to give us some perspective, what would you charge to make a low scope rifle case from buffalo leather provided by client?

Our custom pricing depends on the item, design, and the condition and workability of your tanned hide. Some hides require additional preparation and construction time, so we quote each project individually. Photos, measurements, and the item you have in mind will help us provide an initial estimate, with a final quote after inspecting the hide.

Hello, Thanks for the question. The ball park price without seeing your hide to work with is around $400.00.

So you charge more to make a custom gun case from my leather than what you advertise for a case made of leather you supply?

The short answer is yes, and understandably, it's a fair question. From our first conversation to the finished case going out the door, the time involved in working with a customer's hide is considerable. With our own inventory, we've already inspected the hides, evaluated their quality, and selected and matched the leathers. Working with a customer's hide means starting that process from scratch, often doubling the time involved. It's not the leather we're charging more for, but the additional time, care, and craftsmanship required to create something truly personal.

When you're dealing with a whole Cape buffalo hide, it seems to me you would have a lot to work with re evaluating what parts to use and which are too thick, to thin, etc. Shouldn't be terribly time consuming sorting it out, especially for someone with day to day experience. I know something about this having worked up projects with whole elk hides. The same section that might be used for moccasin soles would not be used for gloves, etc. Anyway, thanks for your time. I'm not interested in paying $400 to have a custom gun case made from my leather when the competition will do it for less than half that price. And most of us with any history on here know who the competition is. Good luck with your business venture. And I mean that.

As an aside, personally I would not want lambskin lining inside my soft gun case. Lambskin is not very durable and it shows dirt badly. Remember, we will be putting oiled guns with gunpowder residue and "brush hook" front sights inside the cases. I'm not sure how or if soiled or damaged gun case insides could be cleaned or repaired. Something to consider.
