About us

I have been creating leather projects / goods for over 11 years now. Approximately 90% of my work is custom ordered using exotic leather. I have repaired / modified all types of leather products / goods over the years. If you have an idea of something you would like created out of leather or you need something repaired that you love and do not want to get rid of......give me a call. I also encourage anyone who has fine leather sofas and / or chairs to have them cleaned and conditioned annually. I offer that service as well. I will come to your home or business to give you a free estimate.

I did some business with Mr. Dotson a year ago when I needed a custom made Black Alligator Money Clip. Due to excellent work he did, and the fact I was in the market for another money clip, I gave him a call. I told Mr. Dotson I was looking for a Sting Ray skin hybrid Money-Clip/Foldover Wallet this time. I advised him as to the fact that I needed two separate slots for credit cards and it also needed a money clip incorporated into it. On that same day, Mr. Dotson provided me with his idea for what I was looking for and it was perfect. Within a week the money clip had arrived and I couldn't be happier. It was a black Sting Ray fold-over with a money clip inside and it was amazing work. With the excellent hand-made quality and his reasonable prices, I will keep coming back to him for all of my custom leather work. You can always trust Mr. Dotson to provide you with custom work that will exceed anything you can imagine.

About a year ago, I was in the market for a very unique custom-made Alligator Leather Money Clip and I had looked for weeks for someone who could do the work to my specifications. I wanted something that was totally unique and had some character to it. I wasn't looking for your run of the mill, typical Alligator skin Money Clip. I wanted it to be rugged looking and it had to bring out the character of the animal itself. I must have looked at a hundred different places claiming to make custom made leather goods but it looked like everyone made the same exact thing. After about a month of searching for someone to do the work, I came across Paul and Rubio Custom Exotic Leather Goods. After looking at Mr. Dotson's very unique custom work, I sent him an email specifying what I was looking for. Within 24 hours, Mr. Dotson replied back to me and said he could definitely work within my specifications but he suggested a way he could change up my specs a bit to make the Money Clip better fit my needs and my own ideas. His ideas for the change in specs was perfect. Within a week, he had the Money Clip built and in the mail to me. When it arrived, it was exactly what I had been looking for! He had used the rear portion of the alligator tail, left the back ridges in place and it was just amazing looking. It was rugged looking and brought out the character of the animal itself yet, it was classy enough to use during work and during my off-time. It was solid craftsmanship and perfect custom work. During the year I've had the Money Clip, it has performed flawlessly and it is still in perfect condition. At this time, I've already ordered another Money Clip from Mr. Dotson, a black Stingray fold-over wallet/money clip hybrid and his attention to my ideas and specifications were just as superb as before. As soon as it arrives, I'll be leaving another review of his work. If your in the market for truly custom made exotic leather goods, you can't go wrong with this company! They'll treat you right every time.
