Home of the Nickel Bag. He initially manufactured custom handmade sandals, belts, wallets, purses, and other small leather items. No job was too small; he was an artist seeking perfection. One day in the late 1970's a customer asked Philip to make a set of leather saddlebags for their motorcycle. There is great local controversy as to who has the original set.

Here are some pictures of a variety of motorcycles with matching seats and saddlebags. We can match some of the Corbin, Danny Gray and Mustang seats. The seats that are in tan, medium brown, dark brown or distressed brown are seats we recovered to match the saddlebags. We also made the tank panels, fender bibs, mud flaps and lever covers pictured on some of these bikes.
To be able to remove the bags in seconds when you arrive at you destination and reinstall them in seconds when you are ready to leave. To be able to install your bags and avoid conflicts such as shot gun pipes which are too high to use with throw over saddlebags. If you ride a Harley Davidson Sportster or Dyna, the Easy Brackets use the holes your turn signals are in, so yes they do need to be relocated to the back of the bike.

2016 Harley Forty Eight. You will not find another one-of-a-kind set of bags for your Sportster Saddlebags! They allow room for passenger pegs. They are slim and fit nice and tight. I am 5'2" and they do not interfere with leg sprawl. I really wish Leatherworks explained and showed more pics of these bags on the Sportster sooner so that I wouldn't have to wait this long to find them. Nice holster look makes this a unique set. Family owned business with excellent customer service!

Excellent leather work. My saddlebags are fantastic. Thanks Rory for working with me. It's difficult to know exactly what you want for custom saddlebags. Rory worked with me and they turned out fantastic. If I bought a new Harley I would take off the leatger saddle bags and sell them. I would have leatherworks make a set and put them on.

I ordered a product and when it arrived it didn't fit my bike - my fault I couldn't read my tape measure. When I called to return it they were very helpful and had me send it back no questions asked (not a custom item). Aimee called me back and spent quite a while on the phone with me trying to find a product to fit my needs. Highly recommend!

Outstanding customer service and outstanding quality bags!!! I was emailing Rory back and forth all day on a Sunday and got my custom bags the next Friday. I got the 310t throwever sportster bags, and couldn’t be happier. Only one ride in but they don’t move AT ALL while riding like cheaper bags I’ve tried, they have plenty of space and are as easy as it gets to take on and off being throw overs. Literally only great things to say about the quality of the bags and the customer service. I haven’t had them long but I can tell they’re going to last a long time.

I recently purchased a custom set of saddlebags. Rory worked with me every step of the way. He always responded quickly via email. We discussed several options and he gave good suggestions. From the time of the order to receiving the bags was about 1 week...definitely the fastest custom order I've ever received. The bags look great and were just as I imagined. Highly recommend!!

Great quality bags & over engineered. I use their saddle and sissybar bags as luggage for antique car rallies. They have been through rain, mudsplattered, been dropped and dragged along the pavement. With a little leather cleaner they still look good. Most items are made to order and take about two weeks to arrive.
I their prices are reasonable compared to what custom luggage companies ask. I couldn't be happier with their bags or their service.

I am an international buyer from Australia.I have owned these saddle bags now for 12 months and they are amazing.I brought custom ones and always get people looking and commenting and taking photos .I could have brought harley ones but I wanted something different and even though it costs more than the standard black it's well worth the money to have them made to your personal style .

I have had the Toolcase 100 since 2008 when I purchased new to go with the 08 Fatboy. 75000. miles later it was beginning to show some wear to the straps and hardware; still functional. I just bought a replacement and Aimee at Leatherworks sold me a kit to restore my case to like new condition. Does thins mean I have to buy another motorcycle? This is HEAVY LEATHER!

I stopped by Leatherworks earlier this month to check it out and inquire about placing a custom order. Aimee was patient and informative. The products are actually better than they look online because they don't actually mention all of the detail that goes into these things that makes them so good. I left feeling confident that they could make me anything I want, and also very impressed with the overall quality of the products. I bought a motorcycle used in 1989 that had a Leatherworks tool bag on it, and I still have the bag more than 27 years later and it was used when I got it. Great

This is a story about how advertising pays off. My dad recently gave me his chopper, a 72 shovelhead with a rigid frame. It's been a lot of work and one thing I wanted to do was get some bags customized to fit it for when I go on a trip. As I was thinking of this I had a flashback from the 90's of the commercial that rudely interrupted my batman cartoon, the last line of the commercial seared into my head like some government brainwashing experiment. It was of a woman muttering in a breathy voice, "thhhe leatherWORKSSS," I must of watched it a million times. I looked them up
