In light of the election, inauguration and implementation of this administration's agenda, Reckless Abandon Leathers would like to make the following ABUNDANTLY clear:

Reckless Abandon Leathers is a safe business for Women of all shapes and sizes, LGBTQIA+, and all BIPOC individuals. I categorically oppose fascism and right-wing hate and bigotry in all its forms and I WILL make those targeted by it feel safe in my booth.

If you are MAGA, "Blue lives Matter," racist, transphobic, homophobic, call yourself an "Alpha," "Sigma," or whatever-the-f**k made-up category you want to create and add yourself to in order to play "Better-than-you" toward others (a trait I find exclusively exhibited by insecure hard right-wingers looking to hate others out of their own insecurities)...

I don't want your business.

That's right, I said what I said.

I don't want you representing my work and my brand, I don't care what you think-- or what you want to say about it.

I don't want your money, and I don't care if you never spend another dollar on my work. I don't care if you give my work away if you have any, and I'm just going to laugh if you burn it or otherwise destroy it (not covered by the warranty and I already got what money you spent, so you do you, LMAO).

For every item you refuse to buy from me or that I refuse to sell to you, just know that someone I want to feel safe in my booth will buy something and wear or use it with pride, knowing I care enough to declare that your kind is unwelcome at my place of business.

Don't like it? Die mad about it.

Actually, I take it back.

You don't have to be mad.

Cordially,
Frederick the Reckless
Owner and Proprietor,

HOW TO LACE YOUR CORSET!!!

10/02/2022

We back our warranty at Reckless Abandon Leathers:

Color refresh on the worst sun/LED light faded corset we've ever seen.

This level of bleaching had to have been from a solid week in direct sunlight or white LED (they put out HUGE levels of UV radiation, FYI). This is discouraged, obviously because it will accelerate the fading of the leather.

We hypothesize the person who received (not the customer, but rather a person trusted to hold it for pickup) the package, opened it to confirm what it was, and left it out on a table either near a window in the summer sun, or under a white LED light for a week or more.

Color refreshment on request is something covered under our lifetime limited warranty as normal wear and tear. This is along with broken bones, popped rivets, rings coming off, grommets pulling free or shredding laces, the leather splitting due to a missed defect, for as long as the leather is in a condition that it can be repaired.

We cover two more things that technically aren't normal wear and tear:

Weight loss-- if you lose weight to the point where the corset is loose and no longer supports, we will do one of two things:

If the corset still looks like new you can trade straight over for the next size smaller.

If the corset looks like you wore it while being dragged behind a truck, we'll tailor it in to the next size smaller. This can only be done once, FYI.

The last thing we cover is something we haven't had to yet, and hope we never will, but we're prepared to:

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES.

This is to say if a paramedic or other rescue worker needs to cut you out of your corset and cuts through the leather (the laces aren't covered, they can be bought easily yourself), we will replace that corset.

Your original corset will be rebuilt, if it's still in good condition aside from the cut panels. If you want it back for sentimental reasons we'll trade you for the replacement corset.

If it's covered in blood or whatnot, you get a replacement corset and your original corset back as is, to use as a visual aid for when you tell your friends how much you suck at dying. If this happens, thank you for being very bad at dying, and please continue suck at it as much as you can for as long as you can.

Appreciate the before and after.

Tonight's assistant has appropriated the hide I am attempting to work.

Oregon Leather has invited us to teach leatherworking workshops in their tack shop section upstairs.

If we did it, we would most likely teach workshops on items you can make in two hours each or so.

Things like basic bracers, bottle wraps, belt pouches and such.

The way it would work is we charge a shop fee, provide materials and tools lists, and have said materials and tools onhand for the class to use. We teach the class and you leave with your new thingy you made yourself, hopefully stopping in the store to buy tools and supplies for more.

If we chose to move forward with this idea, how many would enroll?

We've been rather busy this season and I was just thinking that maybe ya'll might want to see what we've been making and a little teaser for what's in stock for Tortuga!!!!

08/26/2018

NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE:

RAL fans and friends, we are proud to show you all a new item (well... Not exactly *NEW* per se, Frederick has been wearing the prototype for about 8 years now) available for sale for the first time ever:

Frederick's own design-- the"Utilitac" vest. This tactical style utility vest features four roomy pockets and two clip mounts on the front shoulder, ideal for pocket knives and flashlights. This one is the same size Frederick wears and is done in dark brown with nickel furnishings. Currently only one available. There is no guarantee we will have more or even this one by Tortuga, though we will sincerely try our best.

If you want to purchase this vest, the price is $250. As always it comes with our lifetime limited warranty covering all normal wear and tear!

Contact us on the page or PM Frederick Wilcox directly! You can stop by the booth at Tortuga but there's no guarantee it will still be there-- people have been begging is to make this vest available for YEARS!!!

08/01/2018

Are you ready for some goosebumps? Because I spent three days on this, planning every step, designing every piece, watching the whole thing come together and even *I* have them right now.

--Frederick

What you are looking at here is a custom made contractor vest. Constructed from high grade chap leather, each tool is placed to suit the needs of the wearer. In this case, he needed:

1. Tape measure
2. Speed Square
3. 2 drill bit extenders
4. 4 drill bits
5. Needle Nose Pliers
6. Flashlight
7. Flat blade screwdriver
8. Phillips screwdriver
9. Knife
10. Carpenter Pencil
11. Sharpie Marker
12. Ball point pen

*some items were substituted to fill spaces for the purpose of photos*

Additional pockets and rings were added in order to accomodate the various miscellany common in odd jobs.

If you would like to contact us about having a vest like this made, contact the page or message Frederick Wilcox directly via PM.

Estimated price: $300 and remember our lifetime limited warranty covers everything we make.

Cropped for FB friendly sharing: the first ever Lobster Tail Bo***ge Harness by Reckless Abandon Leathers.

This one is a custom piece, and was made for very rough use, the belt and vertical strap fashioned from double layer buffalo hide. This specific one has already been sold but we will accept orders in the future for it based on measurements.

Seven overlapping rings for running your rope or chains or straps, with an 8th ring down at the end. Each piece slides along either the belt or the collar to ensure your harness fots exactly how you want it.

One constructed like this will cost 300 dollars, single later only would cost 200.

Until further notice, unless some new event arises for the dates set (with a guaranteed comparable populace with similar demand for our wares), Reckless Abandon Leathers will be in attendance and vending at Seadog Nights and Tortuga.

We are on no side in the current situation other than our own, as well as that of our financial needs. We simply cannot afford not to go.

We will be there and in so doing, we will be the change we wish to see in the culture of the events. You can hold your beliefs at heart and work to improve the culture of these events at the same time. These concepts are not mutually exclusive. We are not obligated to interact with those parties we feel have wronged the populace on any level in order to make these events better and safer for those in attendance.

HALP WANTED!!!

So, we suppose an update is merited here... Our address has changed, and we've updated it on the page. At this time, however, we are still in flux, adapting to the new location and attempting to figure out our work space and storage for inventory. At this time, all incoming custom projects are suspended as we have a massive backlog to work through once we have everything set up.

At this point, we would like to ask for volunteers setting up the new workspace. We'll pay $10.00 per hour payable in purchased credit with our booth for your help.

What you need to know if you can help:

We are clearing our deck of bicycles, two grills and camp chairs. On it we will be moving our old carport, setting it up for workspace with carpets on the wood to help with cleanup of leather bits as we work in the very near future. We will also be moving the contents of the carport, as it is currently set up, into either the house (unpacking) or onto the deck at the back of the carport. We will need to arrange the grills in an area of the yard where they can be safely used (hmmm... might get some beer, burger patties and fixin's to celebrate a job well done....?)

We will also need to set up the inside of the carport as work space, but for the most part we can handle that aside from the extreme heavy lifting (which will be best accomplished with two or more sets of strong hands and backs, Frederick can provide one set of course).

There may be more work needed but it has to be figured out on the fly. Last but most importantly we will need to make a trip to Oregon Leather Company for supplies, using the last of Frederick's tax return to get what leather we can as well as grommets to complete corsets.

Any takers? Message Frederick Wilcox directly if you can make it out this weekend to help.
