Arne gave me so many of his dies/patterns/forms that I haven't had a chance to digest them all. I'll often use a client's interest in one of those products as a catalyst to learn how to make it.

The leather case for a Wheatley fly box was one of those situations.

Wheatley boxes come in many different dimensions and it would be burdensome to try to list them here or stock them all. The limiting factor is the box's width. I'm able to make cases for Wheatley boxes in the following dimensions:

Length: up to 6"

Width: 3.5" only

Depth: 1 1/8", 1", 7/8", 5/8" 

 

Please reach out with your specific color/size requirements!

 

Design:

My preference is a cowhide exterior with a goat skin lining, but you could reverse it, or make one side the inverse of the other, or make it all cowhide. All slips require at least one layer of cowhide on each side for rigidity and forming. You can really make these your own.

The standard colors I have available are as follows:

Cowhide:

The chestnut cowhide is from Conceria Walpier in Tuscany, Italy.

Goat Skin:

The sunburst (red) and black goat skin is from Alran S.A.S in Tarn, France.

 

The custom colors I have currently:

Cowhide:

Natural, Chestnut

Goat Skin:

Orange-Red, Grey, Green-Grey, Bright Blue, Natural, Navy

Made to be used

My products should be used, not hidden away and protected. As they travel through life with you, they will develop their own personality in the scuffs, scars, and patinas they collect. They will tell your story of a life well lived.

our philosophy

Enjoy the slow craft

I strive to craft something more than a uniform, commodity item, extruded by lifeless machines en masse for the masses.

I make everything by hand in a micro workshop in the corner of my garage. Everything requires manual work, and most products require hand stitching.

The process takes time because it's worth going slow to do it right.

Reel Cases

Our commitment

There is always more to learn.

The path to mastery is never ending, and a mentor is essential. I have the privilege of calling Master Leathersmith Arne Mason my mentor, and incorporating his skills and knowledge into my products.
