Our Operation

We started with a simple concept

- - -

We originated as an outlet to create leather products that we wanted to use ourselves. 
Our vision is to create carry goods products that can journey the world with you,
and develop character and charm from the adventures they experience with you.
We believe in ruggedness, simplicity, durability, and timelessness. 


Our name not only defines us, but it’s also where we're from.




Our Process

- - -

All of our leather products are sewn by hand using a stitching saddle technique. The saddle stitch technique has been favored for centuries by expert leather craftsmen, and has a distinct durability advantage when compared to the lock stitch technique produced by machine stitching. The saddle stitch technique intertwines the thread creating a double stitch that won’t unravel if it is ever cut or torn. 

 

 

Our Wallets 

From the Slim Wallet to the Classic Bifold, our designs are classic, functional and tailored to you. 

We aren't trying to reinvent the wallet. 

We want to set a new standard. 

Each piece of our wallets are precisely cut with a laser to guarantee a standardized and uniform design. 

We begin by inspecting each piece of the wallet ensuring the quality, wiping away any impurities and cleaning the stitching holes, lining them up and place each step of the wallet into our saddle to be sewn.  

After threading two needles at the end of a polyester waxed cord we are now ready to begin our stitch.

The stitched wallet is waxed around the edges then polished with a burnisher. 


The Porter Satchel

- - -

The design of this bag stems from field adventures of co-founder, Guy Rubio. While working as a field geologist, Guy was eager to find a bag that could not only hold all of his gear, but also survive the elements of being out in the field.  He was able to find these capabilities, and more, in the Porter Satchel. He went on to test the limits of the bag in the coal mines of Utah, and even as far as the rough terrain of Iceland.

 

 


THE LAST BAG YOU WILL EVER NEED

- - -

 

The Porter Satchel was meticulously designed to be one of the most unique products available. It features materials that are fit for a lifetime of abuse and love, sharing every adventure with you.

Every part of this bag is hand stitched and riveted in our workshop.


Our Leather

- - -

English Bridle

We source all our English Bridle from Wickett & Craig, a premiere vegetable tannery. Each cowhide is perfected in a labor-intensive, natural, eco-friendly process that produces superior leather. We use this leather because of its rich patina and beautiful color.


Our products will not only endure, but get better with age.

Shell Cordovan

Our Shell Cordovan is sourced from Horween, located in the USA or Toscana, Italy. Shell Cordovan is a dense fiber structure found only in the hindquarters of equine animals. It is the most premium leather option available on the market. It features a tight grain character that resists stretching and creasing, while still maintaining a brilliant shine. Shell Cordovan is eye-catching and durable, qualities that present a remarkable product. 

 

Shop Life

- - -

Located in a century old factory turned warehouse, our team of craftsman are hands-on through the entire process, from when the leather arrives to when it's shipped out. With an keen eye and a skilled hand our small group of craftsmen and designers set the standard for the quality of our products.

Every inch of our space is utilized and tells a story of the past and adventures ahead.



Ready for Adventure

- - -

“Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.”  -- Jack Kerouac

Our gear reflects who we are, so it should reflect what we do. We travel to parts unknown, searching, longing, dreaming, wandering, becoming, being. What is made from us out in the wild is, makes us who are in the workshop.

From the Colorado Rocky Mountains to the red dry landscape of Moab, Utah...to the winding roads of Iceland and to the vast trails of New Zealand...

We never shy away from a challenge or adventure, whether it's at the base of a mountain or in the workshop with a needle in our hand, we never stop pushing the boundaries of what we can create and build with our Bexar Goods team.

 

 


"Modern gear for the new frontier."

Each stitch, and every step of adventure

is in our DNA.

We are a small team of craftsmen based in Bexar County, Texas,
the heart of the Hill Country, an area with a rich heritage in leather use for outdoor travel.

Bexar Goods was created in the wild

and then refined in the workshop.

We are based in Texas but our vision and inspiration is drawn from cultures around the world. 

 

Enjoy with us.
