Review:
I received my A.J. Miller custom Hawken sleeve made to fit my Pedersoli Hawkin. The workmanship and fit are excellent! I plan on having another one made by Jim for another Hawken. Sending the tracing ensured a great fit. I highly recommend Jim for any custom leather needs. Quality at a fair price...

Custom Leather Backpack Jim, I’m sure you realize, but if you don’t… you have a gift. An incredible and wonderful gift! These backpacks are EXACTLY what I was hoping for and will be EXACTLY perfect. I could not be more pleased and I can’t wait to put mine to good use. It’s going to get a lot of it. I will carry this pack with me everywhere and carry it with pride. With every use, I know it will build more and more character. And when everyone asks me, and they will, where I got it, I’ll gladly be sharing with them a view of your brand… Made in Montana by Buckskin Jim. Seriously, these are wonderful!

"I have 3 pair of moccasins (one to wear barefoot, one for thin socks, one for thick socks) so, no matter the season, I have a pair to wear. I also have a leather backpack which is so well made I'm sure my grandchildren will be using it someday! The elk hide purse & buffalo wallet are not only beautiful but made to last for years as well. I also have a custom-made Indian flute case that tells the story of a particularly wonderful mountain adventure I shared with my dad & uncle.Buckskin Jim's products are excellently crafted and sure to last for years to come."

"Jim does very nice work, and is historically correct for the fur trade era, using resources such as paintings by Alfred J. Miller, who specifically painted the trappers and mountain men of the fur trade."
July 9, 2015 - from Buckskin Jim's niece in Wyoming:
"Visit this site.... buy stuff. This is my Uncle Jim (Buckskin Jim's Shop and Historical Recreations Buckskin Jim) - he is pretty awesome! He takes at least one yearly trek to the wilderness by himself each year (in his authentic teepee); sans electronics but with a straight razor and a broken mirror (a man's gotta shave). He's brilliant, creative, a great story teller and just an all around good guy. He put a great story online tonight... he has tons. So... go to his website... get cool things... my favorite items are made with buffalo hide."
