This is the short version of my fully custom keychain line. Currently 7 Stainless Steel hardware options to choose from, all of which originated in the old western saddlery trade. One end will include the stainless steel clip to attach the keychain to your belt loop, bag, wall hook and more. The leather featured in this keychain is the same used in my U.S. Full-Grain leather bags - it's the good stuff! I make and ship this Custom Keychain with a free tin of my shop made leather conditioner.
HARDWARE OPTIONS
All hardware options are made from Stainless Steel, with the exception of ‘Square’. The leather is cut to 5/8 inches wide. See below for more details and length on each choice:
RING: A simple and strong standard split ring, except this one is stainless steel! Fits around 9 keys on the ring. Measurement from each end of the hardware tips: 5.25 inches.
SQUARE: Fits around 7 keys on the pin. Measurement from each end of the hardware tips: 5 inches. To add or remove keys you will need a small pointy object such as a mini screw driver to push in the spring loaded pin on one side. Then push the pin out, load your keys, then push the pin back down and replace. It might take a little finagling, but it’s very secure!
DEE: Using a stainless steel dee-ring with 3 stainless steel mini split rings to hold your keys. Fits around 4 keys per ring, or 12 total using all three provided. Measurement from each end of the hardware tips: 5.5 inches.
SWIVEL: Let your keys fully rotate in most directions with 3 stainless steel mini split rings to hold your keys. Fits around 4 keys per ring, or 12 total using all three provided. Measurement from each end of the hardware tips: 6.5 inches.
DROP: A unique piece of horse gear, it’s part of a mouth bit and uses 3 stainless steel mini split rings to hold your keys. Fits around 4 keys per ring, or 12 total using all three provided. Measurement from each end of the hardware tips: 7 inches.
HIP: Another fun piece of horse gear typically attached to the harness and uses 3 stainless steel mini split rings to hold your keys. Fits around 4 keys per ring, or 12 total using all three provided. Measurement from each end of the hardware tips: 6.5 inches.
CLIP: Placing a clip at the end allows for easy unclipping of your own keyring. Will clip onto any ring of keys, or perhaps other items. Measurement from each end of the hardware tips: 7.25 inches.
Please note that we only use the best Full-Grain leather in our shop and it is tooled by hand. This means there may be the occasional natural scar or marking that occurred during the cow’s lifetime, as well as some subtle tooling marks. It’s just a testament to the hand-worked leather. Colors may vary slightly from the photos due to the dye process used.
Here’s a look at how my customers’ purchases are aging over time. Each item will develop its own unique patina depending on how you use it, how often, and what it’s exposed to. That’s the magic of using high-end Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather.
