Handlebar Bags for 27th Letter

QCDG is honored to be working with 27th Letter, Cycles d'Autremont's line of cycling accessories. The recent batch of handlebar bags in 2 sizes is shown here, and both are offered in 2 colorways: grey waxed canvas with black leather trim, and tan waxed canvas with brown leather trim. Contact Hubert if you interested in picking up one of these beauties hdautrem@gmail.com

Leg 'o Mutton Rifle Case

From the QCDG archives, I made this custom gun case a few years back for the president of Orvis. It required a full size wood form that was used to wet mold the leather to. Fully lined in shearling and stitched on the good 'ol Landis K outsole stitcher. This thing came out bomb proof! Click the link below to see a few more shots.

       

Market/Garden Pack

Wax Canvas and Leather Backpack

Leather Vest

Just finished up a leather vest for my man Yoke the metalsmith




         

Leather Racer Jacket

This is the first leather version of the Queen City Racer jacket. It's a beautiful dark brown, super soft, naked cow hide and 100% cotton plaid lining that will breath nicely. The finished weight is really nice, not too heavy. This is one of 2 leather jackets that were purchased through the kicktarter project we ran last fall.  I'm looking forward to seeing it all broken in and lived in!  Click on the post heading to see more shots.

Rain Tree Metalsmiths, leather pouches

Our friends Mike and Shannon just launched their new jewelry line Raintree Metalsmiths. They make beautiful stuff. Check them out. We made these delicious little pouches to package the jewelry in. It was a pleasure to work with this luxurious leather, and it took their logo debossing quite nicely.

                                               

Denim Macbook sleeve, 15"

Building on the ipad sleeve we developed last year, this is a denim and leather case tailored for 15" Macbooks. We'll have both 13" and 15" sleeves on the shelf soon!

Guitar strap

This is a custom guitar strap for my bro Chris. Its got thick wool felt lining the shoulder pad for traction and cushion, and the leather is a heavy waxy harness leather that should hold up well to years of thrashing guitar solos.

27th Letter tool kit

I've been working on all sorts of new items for Hubert D'autremont's line of bike accessories called 27th LETTER. We have finalized 2 handlebar bags, a mechanic's apron and the cycle cap and the latest is a leather tool kit for essentials (pictured below). Up next will be a jacket and front rack porteuar bag

Tool Belt for Shneider of Crawford Construction

Shneider over at Crawford Construction asked me to build him a tool belt for the job site.  Hopefully this serves him well for many years.  The belt is lined in wool felt for padding.

27th LETTER handlebar bag small

This is the latest prototype for Hubert over at 27 LETTER. Grey waxed canvas with black leather.  The elastic will be replaced with round elastic cord later this week, with a leather tab on the end to grab.

27th LETTER Cycle Caps

Queen City is proud to be working on small batches for the 27th LETTER cycle product line.  Hubert and I have been developing these products over the last year and they're beginning to stack up.  This is the first run of cycle hats.  Stay tuned for handlebar bags, porter bags and more.

Schneider Tool Belt

I'm developing a Tool Belt that will stand up to the toughest abuse.  The belt portion is almost done.  It's super thick 14 oz hot stuffed harness leather and lined in 1/4" merino wool felt.  The buckle is stainless steel.  Just waiting for the tubular rivets to arrive.

Shoemaking student

This is Emma Sienkiewycz.  She has been attending Queen City Shoe School and just finished this fantastic pair of lace up boots built on a vintage pair of lasts she found on ebay.  Emma just finished highschool at CVU in Hinesburg, Vermont and is one her way to Parsons in NYC next year.  Great job Emma!

CUSTOM WINTER BOOTS

I just finished making the ultimate boots for winter in Vermont.  

The liner is 100% Merino wool felt which I hand stitched,

                                      gusseted tongue construction to keep the water out,

 Vibram Big Horn sole, speed laces, and quilted

side panels.  The leg is lined with nylon and 

the heel lined with a thick leather heel counter to 

stand up to years of wear.

Bring on the snow!
