Custom Leather Motorcycle Tool Bag - Come And Take It

Brand new custom 12" wide leather tool bag

We enjoy creating products that will live on for a few generations. Proud to have made this new tool bag for one of our biker brethren in San Antonio, TX. The tool bag is a custom one off based upon the Slogan "Come And Take It" used in 1778 at Fort Morris in Georgia during the American Revolution and more notably in 1835 at the Battle of Gonzales during the Texas Revolution. Nothing like a bit of defiance in the face of adversity.

Imitation Can Be The Most Serious Form Of Fuckery...

Lying and thieving douchebags exist all over the map

Imitation is the sincerest form of fuckery. If yall don't mind we could use a favor from the masses. We found a fucktard on Amazon that wants to act as if they created our products and sell them at a higher price. Please contact Amazon and help to have them removed or find out their address where I can personally show up and collect payment the old fashioned way...

Have a look for yourself at our store on Etsy

Please go report this douchebag to Amazon that likes to take credit for other folks work.

Here is the real photo of our work being heisted by a fake seller on Amazon.

"Dear Ralph \ Banjo Buck,

Many thanks for the personal note accompanying my recent 'Buckstache' banjo strap. The strap is fantastic, I'm delighted with how perfectly it matches the color and style of my Epiphone - both were a really special 30th birthday gift from my brother. Been playing keyboards for 20 years or so but banjo only a few months so a great present enhanced by a great strap.

I wish you the best of luck selling more Buckstaches to Europe, i'll be recommending you to my fellow pickers here in Nottingham.

Cheers guys,"

Adam
