GOLD RUSH Theme
Modeled after the great western gold rush of the 1800's, this shield is by far our signature piece. Hand tooled as leather was in early American culture with hand painted lettering in a mixture of 3 different western fonts from the 1800's that we call "Gold Rush". Shield height can either be 6 1/4 or 6 1/2 and the width is 5 1/4 at the furthest points two inches off the bottom. -
BALLPARK Theme
With sports being our great nation's favorite pastime, we thought it fitting to add it as one of our themes. Dedicated to the sport enthusiasts of the fire service, this shield showcases the font used on most of our favorite team jerseys and allows the main color of your team to outline the solid white font. Shield height can either be 6 1/4 or 6 1/2 and the width is 5 1/4 at the furthest points two inches off the bottom. -
OLD WORLD Theme
Introducing the "Old World" theme to our collection. A fitting name to a theme that's designed after fusing two different old english fonts. Shield height can either be 6 1/4 or 6 1/2 and the width is 5 1/4 at the furthest points two inches off the bottom.

Smoked Leather by firehouse definition is leather gear worn and used by firefighters. The title “Smoked Leather” was inspired by a few big city firefighters who said “your shields look like they belong on old leather lids; because nothing’s better than wearin’ smoked leather”. This statement gave us the inspiration for the weathered look and traditional style that’s seen tooled into each and every one of our pieces.

Tooling leather is not only an art form, but has been a long lost skill for some time and is mostly seen today in western style horse saddles and belt work. Our goal was to bring this traditional element into the fire service by hand-carving and tooling every detail seen on each and every piece. But it wasn’t until teaming up with Ivan Rubio for the paint work that the image was complete and Smoked Leather was officially born. Today, Smoked Leather’s work has made its way from its birthplace in Northern California all the way across this great American freedom loving nation of ours. Not a trend, just back to American hand-made quality.
