The Family Behind The Gear

"We saw a demand for quality leather gear at a fair price — with the options first responders actually want. So we built it ourselves."

JP Custom Leatherworks started in 2015 with an idea at the kitchen table and launched its first store in 2016. Today, Joe Petito and his four kids still cut, stamp, stitch, pack, and ship every order together.

The goal hasn't changed since day one: quality gear at a fair price, made the right way.

From The Firehouse

★★★★★

"Fits my radio perfect and the stamping came out even better than the photos. Three guys at my house have ordered since."

Firefighter, Engine Co.Verified buyer
★★★★★

"Ordered the Fire Bundle with our department logo. They answered every question I had before I bought. The leather is thick and the stitching is dead straight."

Lieutenant, Truck Co.Verified buyer
★★★★★

"Quick Ship strap showed up in under a week. Honestly can't tell the difference from full custom."
