About Hideout Craft

Hideout Craft specialises in leathercraft tools, stitching irons, punches, consumables, and practical workshop accessories for traditional leatherworking.

Supplying quality leathercraft tools and workshop accessories, curated by a practising leatherworker — for makers.

From Bench to Business

Hideout Craft was born from the bench — not the boardroom.

Hideout Craft serves leatherworkers across the UK, offering tools for hand stitching, cutting, and traditional bench work.

I’m a practising leatherworker with a deep respect for the traditional side of the craft:

  • Hand stitching
  • Hand cutting
  • Manual pattern making
  • Hand skiving

I prefer the tactile, hands-on side of leatherwork — where each piece is made with focus and intention, not speed.

Why I Started Hideout Craft

This shop exists because I wanted something better:

A better place to buy reliable leathercraft tools in the UK — without excess, hype, or disposable gear.

  • Tools I actually use
  • Gear that lasts
  • A curated range, not a warehouse of options

Many of the in-house tools I now offer started as solutions to my own workshop problems — finding ways to get more out of a single tool, rather than cluttering the space with many. I needed smart, practical add-ons that made the most of what I already had.

Everything I stock is selected based on one rule: Would I use this at my own bench?

Tools You Can Trust

I stock a small but growing range of quality tools and accessories, including:

  • Kevin Lee tools – renowned for precision and feel in hand leathercraft
  • In-house accessories – like arbor press adapters and inserts
  • Practical add-ons – 3D-printed and workshop-tested

No dropshipping, no gimmicks — just tools that work.

All stock is held, packed, and shipped from the UK.

Made for Makers

Whether you’re just starting out or refining your setup, Hideout Craft is here to support makers who care about their craft.

If you appreciate honest tools and traditional methods, you’re in the right place.
