Some ideas are too good to let escape.

Handcrafted from full-grain Latigo leather, this notebook cover is built to keep your thoughts, plans, and next big ideas close at hand.

Featuring hand-stitched construction, a wraparound leather strap secured through a loop, and a solid rivet on the back to hold it all together. Rugged materials, purposeful details, and a design made for everyday use.

Includes a 4” × 6” MD Product Notebook, made in Japan.

Whether it’s a passing thought or the beginning of something bigger, don’t let that idea escape.

No chest pocket? No problem.

The Workman Leather Sleeve was made to carry your everyday writing tools wherever the work takes you. I went looking for a shirt pocket… only to realize I’m wearing a white T-shirt. 😂

So into the left trouser pocket it goes: easy, secure, and ready when you need it.

Built for work. Built for use.

The Workman Leather Sleeve.

A leather pocket protector for the tools you actually use.

Hand-stitched from full-grain leather and finished with brass rivet & burr details in the corners, adding both structure and a little industrial character.

Keep your pens, pencils, markers, or other writing utensils close in your chest pocket, or drop the sleeve into your trouser pocket and get to work.

Model 004. Built to be used.

A custom order in full-grain American Luxardo red paired with turquoise vegetable-tanned leather, finished with black German Ritza Tiger thread.

Bold leather. Strong contrast. Hand-built in Los Angeles.

Going to be using this monster for longer stitch runs.

More long billfold wallets,… maybe hand bags?

Built & Broken In: Model 006.

This one has been in my rotation for about two and a half years.

Italian vegetable-tanned leather, four interior pockets, two exterior pockets, and a little more going on with the way those interior pockets are cut.

It was built primarily for cards, but there’s still room for a few bills when you need them.

The best part? I didn’t have to imagine how this leather would age. I got to live with it.

The scratches, the darkening, the patina—that’s the leather doing what leather does.

A mirror edge is beautiful. There’s no denying that.

But at Rough Draft, I’m less interested in making a wallet look untouched, and more interested in making one that looks better because it’s been used.

That’s why I choose a functional burnish.

The edge is finished smooth, sealed, and ready for the miles ahead. No painted coating. No fragile mirror finish that needs to stay perfect.

Because I want the beauty of the wallet to show up in the places that matter: the worn edges, the darkened leather, the marks from your hands, and the character that only comes from being carried.

Built for use. Not for display.

Let the wallet become yours.
