At King Leather Works, I turn the leather you love into products that are both functional and unique.
Inspired by preserving my father's childhood baseball glove from the 50's (a George Kell Wilson model A2930), my kids' love of baseball and my infatuation for baseball gloves in general, I started King Leather Works in 2019 to turn the baseball gloves we all love into unique products that we can see, touch, smell and use every day.
I started learning how to cut, hand stitch and burnish wallets and card cases made from my gloves, the retired gloves of friends and vintage gloves that I sourced online. After a few months, I expanded into making wallets and card cases from vintage NFL and college footballs and even classic hockey gloves.
I continue to come up with new wallet and card case designs as I get feedback from the givers and receivers of my one of a kind products. If you are looking for a truly unique gift for the sports lover you know, look no further.
About me...
My name is Brad King and I live in San Mateo, CA by way of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Colorado. My love of baseball was ignited by the birth of my first son, Wyatt, who's first word was 'ball'. As he got older he started playing a lot of ball following in his mom's footsteps - a former Penn State softball player. Yes, I know exactly where Wyatt's baseball special talent came from.
His love of baseball, and now his younger brother's love of baseball (the little guy on the right), continues to fuel my interest in all things baseball - including the preservation of the tools of the trade - vintage baseball gloves.
I am constantly creating new wallet and card case designs. Make sure you check back regularly to see my latest creations.
Wallets and Card Cases
Every wallet and card case I make is unique, both in design and in materials. There are no two alike. Most of the gloves I use are catchers mitts because they are constructed of high quality leather, and due to how they are made, yield the most interesting card cases and wallets by using external and internal glove leather.
Each glove I acquire is oiled, deconstructed, hand cut, stitched and burnished - resulting in a one of kind wallet. Due to the nature of the glove leather, the wallets and card cases break in just like your favorite glove did. They start out hard and rigid and eventually soften up and stretch to fit all the cards and cash that you carry.
These wallets and card cases are an amazing conversation starter, a one of kind gift and will stand the test of time due to their rugged materials and solid construction.
