Development of the CALIFORNIAN began in Dec. 2004 after receiving requests from fellow riders for a tank bib that covered the bottom of the tank for protection against chaps/jeans, jacket pull zippers, etc.
After several designs the current version was introduced in March 2005 and was instantly welcomed by riders looking for the unique style and bottom tank protection .

We do all work ourselves, and it is all done by hand.

Each Californian is unique due to the grain of the leather and any “add-ons”.

Each CALIFORNIAN is:

Cut from full grain saddle leather...
Hand Formed to fit each style tank bottom...
Dyed and sealed with water repellent product...
Hand laced with  calf leather...
Fully lined with felt...

We are associated with  Dave Eppler, an accomplished leather carver who adds custom carvings to our products.  Click on  Leather Carvings to preview Dave Epplers Style.
