OMG Leather Works Joins the MSB
OMG Leather Works is run by long time friend of the Spirko family and show supporter Jeff Dheere. Jeff is one of those guys that can do 100 different things but his real passion is working with leather.
Last year I got to a point where I was blatantly sick and effing tired of shitty dog collars. So I went to several pet stores (big ones like PetSmart and smaller family ones) to get all three dogs, new collars. I was at the point that I didn’t care what they cost, I was tired of spending 20-30 bucks for shit that was frayed and stinking in 3-6 months.
Max my big old German Sheppard had an old (like 10 year old) heavy leather collar. It was still okay but had seen better days, so I figured I would buy something like that for him along with similar ones for Charlie and Lucy. Well a decade changes a lot of things! To be blunt everything I found was complete total garbage. Chinese made total shit. No matter what I was willing to pay, quality just wasn’t an option.
So when Jeff taught at my spring workshop on leather making I explained my situation, he quoted me a price and he made me the three collars below. These were custom made, to spec, per dog and not that much more in cost than the best you can buy in a store. Except these were all bad ass, custom engraved, and will last 10 years, more if you treat them with oil, say once every six months. Conversely most store bought collars today are lucky to make 1-2 years maximum. And again they stink to high heaven in about 6 months.
The one with the spikes was for Charlie, seemed like a good idea at the time but in the end with our Granddaughter climbing on him all the time I decided to make it a “show collar” (Check Charlie Out He Looks Great In It). I was worried my little gal would get hurt by the spikes, so Jeff was hired to build a more practical one. This one below was the result and it is now part of Charlie’s EDC, the spikes come out for the fun of it once in a while still.
So this fall I got with Jeff again and got him set up with the MSB. MSB members can now get 10% off all items in the OMG Store or on custom orders.
Much as Patrick Roehrman of MT Knives, has become my personal knife maker I now consider Jeff Dheere my personal leather crafter. If I need anything I am going to him and either buying off the shelf or getting him to make me specifically what I need.
Jeff gets my highest endorsement and now MSB members get 10% off all his products. Learn more today at OMG Leather Works, and the discount code is already sitting in the benefits section of the MSB.
P.S. – So it is now January 17th, and in only in 17 days I have brought you GunAdapters.com, ButchrerBox, RidgeWallet and OMG Leather as discount partners for the MSB and guess what folks another partner is coming tomorrow! Yes tomorrow.
If you are not an MSB member yet, tell me the thing you want a discount on and I will go get it for you. Otherwise consider buying an MSB Membership today, it pays for itself many times over for most members.
That’s why MSB has a 87% retention rate at 3 years. Got that, 87% of members keep their membership at least three years!
FWIW, the retention rate at 6 years, is still an amazing 64%, so we are doing something right. Get on board today and find out why we have such loyalty among our members.
I can also testify to the quality of OMG products. My dog gets the best of everything (spoiled doggie that she is) and now has the best collar available.
The workmanship is so good that now all our belts look cheap in comparison.
Thank you Salima for that fantastic endorsement.
If anyone is having any issues reaching our website, please email me at info@omgleatherworks.com. We’ve gotten a couple of orders today and will get them processed as quickly as possible. I respond to your orders and questions as soon as I see them.
Hi Jack, would be an idea to bring Jeff on the show as a guest or expert to talk about care of leather products, especially more expensive products like leather coats and ones favourite leather hiking boots etc.
This might tie in with the question about leather care which I emailed you last week.
I just listened to Podcast 2150 , great response on boot-care
I have a belt that Jeff made. It makes carrying my conceal carry comfortable. My pants stay up better than with the old belt that I had been wearing for the last 25 years.
