In 1975, Robert and Fannie Coblentz started a leather business with very little equipment and tools but with a very basic belief… manufacture a quality product and your business will build itself. From its humble beginning in a 15'x20' building, Coblentz Handmade U.S.A. has grown from originally making horse collars for local farmers to fabricating a wide variety of quality leather products. Current owners, Marion and Naomi Coblentz still hold to the high quality standards established by Marion’s parents, and they have greatly expanded their product line as well as building a new retail location in 2011. Stop in and browse through the waist belts (10/12 oz thick solid leather), purses, wallets, portfolios, briefcases, hats, friendship bracelets, gun slings, leather carry bags, possible pouches that are perfect for Kindles and iPads, checkbook covers, knife cases, coaster sets, wine bag carriers, cell phone cases, leather aprons, door bells, guitar straps, leather pillows and much more. 

“All our leather products are made in the U.S.A. from U.S. hides,” explains Marion, “A quality leather item whether it’s a belt, a purse, or briefcase starts with the highest quality U.S. hide. We accept nothing less than top of the line leather.” Add to that the quality craftsmanship of Coblentz’s experienced staff, about half of which are family. “We have a wonderful skilled group of employees who work hard and share a lot of thoughts and ideas. We wouldn’t be where we’re at today without them,” beams Marion. When you stop in, you can actually see Coblentz’s staff at work, meticulously crafting high quality durable leather goods. Need help designing a unique item? Marion and his staff can help design and manufacture that special item that you can’t find anywhere else. “We find more and more of our customers are looking for quality leather goods that they can’t get with inferior imported leather. Genuine U.S. made leather goods using hides grown and tanned in the USA, it’s the only thing we’ll use,” continues Marion.
