A Bag Built for the Work
Tom's Tool Bag was born from the rooftops of upstate New York, where Tom has installed solar energy systems with his own hands — and it will go wherever the work takes him next. Built to carry a full tool belt loaded with snips, side cutters, screwdrivers, aircraft grade sheet metal cutters, impact driver, drill, and batteries — this bag is not a display piece. It will be used. It will be pushed to the limits of what a handmade leather bag can endure, and it will win.
Built to Last a Lifetime
The bottom is rough out thick cut Natural Vegetable Tanned Leather — built for rooftops, job sites, and whatever ground God puts beneath Tom's feet. The body is all natural veg tan leather, part dyed in British Tan, with solid brass hardware throughout: YKK brass zipper, brass D-rings, brass Chicago screws, and brass snaps that open the bag fully when the zipper isn't enough. A leather flap protects the zipper for water resistance.
Hand Painted. One of One.
A hand painted cathedral graces one side — turquoise and gold, one of Tom's favorite things — and the Persecuted Truth Lighthouse patch, fully hand painted, marks the other. Every stitch is intentional. Every hour is documented. 81 hours and 18 minutes of construction. $447 in materials. Built from the remaining pieces of leather from bags that helped Tom get to where he is today.
