About Trailcraft & Co

Trailcraft & Co. was built on the idea that gear should earn its place. Nothing disposable, nothing over-engineered, nothing pretending to be something it isn’t. Just honest materials, simple construction, and the kind of durability that comes from putting in the work.

Every bag begins the same way: canvas on the table, tools within reach, and the slow pace of handcraft. Waxed canvas, leather trim, solid hardware. No shortcuts. The goal is to make gear you can haul through rain, brush off in the dirt, and trust on the days when conditions don’t care how you feel.

Trailcraft pieces aren’t “inspired” by the outdoors. They’re made for it. They pick up marks, soften with use, and shape themselves around how you travel. That’s the whole point. A bag should look better after a few seasons, not worse.

This isn’t a factory. It’s a workshop with the door usually open, tools on the bench, and a stack of canvas waiting for the next order. Every stitch, rivet, and fold is done here, by hand, the same way gear used to be made before everything went synthetic and forgettable.

If you’re looking for lightweight trends or fast fashion, this isn’t the place. If you want something built to stay with you for years, welcome.

About The Wild Buck Outdoors

The Wild Buck Outdoors grew alongside Trailcraft, but follows its own path. It’s the leather side of the workshop: belts, sheaths, small goods, and the kind of rugged pieces that get better every time you handle them.

Start with full-grain leather. Cut it clean. Burnish it by hand. Stitch it slow. Leather remembers everything — pressure, sweat, time — and it develops a character no machine can fake. The idea is simple: make leather goods that will outlast the gear they carry.

There’s no mass production here, no piles of stamped pieces. Each item is built one at a time and meant to serve a purpose. A belt that doesn’t stretch out. A sheath that protects the blade for decades. A pouch that becomes part of the kit you reach for without thinking.

Both brands share the same DNA: straightforward materials, functional design, and the belief that well-made gear should stand on its own without a sales pitch.

What This Site Is

Trailcraftco.com isn’t a store. It’s a journal.
A place to document the work, the materials, the field tests, and the ideas that shape both workshops. You’ll find stories about gear, craft, outdoor life, and the small details that matter when you spend enough time outside to know what lasts.

If you want to see the finished pieces, the Shop button will take you to the Etsy storefronts.
Everything else you’ll find here is about the process, the work, and the world these products come from.
