Why Choose Us

Behind the Build

What sets Occidental Leather apart isn’t just the quality of our materials—it’s the hands and minds behind every product. Each tool system is built with intention, shaped by decades of field experience and a deep respect for the trades. From the first sketch to the final stitch, our team of skilled makers brings precision, pride, and purpose to every step. That’s the difference you’ll feel the moment you put it on.

American Made from Start to Finish

Every product is designed, cut, stitched, and riveted in-house. No outsourcing, no shortcuts—just skilled craftsmanship.

Built for the Trades

Our gear is made by people who use it. We field-test our products and listen to feedback from working professionals to continually improve.

Designed to Last

We use premium materials like full-grain leather and rugged fabrics for tool systems that hold up through years of heavy use.

I bought these bags back in 2017, 7 years ago. These are the best bags out there. All the rivets are still intact, the leather has held up great. Before I purchased these I was buys a set of bags almost every year. Nothing compares to these!!! Great investment!

The Workshop

Engineered for Everyday

Our facility in Sonoma County is both our creative hub and production floor. Here, ideas are prototyped, tested, and built under one roof. This direct connection between design and manufacturing ensures consistency, accountability, and innovation in every bag.

Our Quality

Precision, Durability. Legacy

With over 40 years of field-tested designs, you can be assured that you're purchasing the most unique and hardest-working tool systems in the business. Since 1980, Occidental has set the standard for quality in the tool belt industry—and has earned a reputation of having no equal.

Heavy-duty leather, meets old-school muscle... and steady hands to punch and press our toughest leather—because some things just work better the hard way.
