Tack Repair and Custom Leatherwork

Blue Dog Leather is a full service leather shop offering quality repairs of all types of tack, English and Western, as well as custom leather goods. All work is hand-sewn or machine stitched to ensure the best quality work possible. Attention to detail and customer service are a given. We offer free estimates, friendly service, and fast turnaround. We can ship to anywhere, and we're happy to work with photos, sketches, and ideas if you're not in our neighborhood. Custom projects are welcome.

On this web site, you'll find more information about us and the work we do. If it's made of leather, we can probably make it or fix it. In addition to horse, dog, and shooting gear, what about baseball gloves, tool belts, leather jackets, zipper replacements, golf bag repair - ? Give us a call!

We've added a couple of new machines and tools this summer to enable high-quality finishing and specialty work. Hand sewing is still often needed for details and authenticity, but it's not always practical or economical. Sewing through delicate garment leather or thick multiple layers of harness require different techniques and material, and we're happy to be able to provide a full range of options.

Several interesting projects have come in over the past few months, and we've added new pictures and descriptions to this web page. In particular, Keith has made or fitted several pieces for Civil War reenactors, and has renovated some fine old saddles that needed new woolskins and lots of repair and TLC.

Keith has also been invited to exhibit his work in the Salmon Falls Artisan Showroom in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. Look for his beautiful belts and leather goods there later in the fall, amid the extraordinary glasswork of Josh Simpson and many other fine western Massachusetts artisans.

We look forward to hearing from you!
