Hot Handle Covers

Welcome to KRB Leather.

We specialize in Hot Handle Covers aka Cast Iron Skillet Handle Mitts and Zippo Lighter Cases.

Our Leather Skillet Handle Mitt are constructed with 10oz Vegetable Tanned Leather for the outside and 2oz leather on the inside. The 2oz pieces of leather are sewn onto the outer piece of leather and then turned inside which gives the mitts more strength. Each mitt is hand sewn with 4oz wax thread and comes with a loop on one end to hang up your mitt so you can always find it. Comes in Brown or Black.

I use to have my mom's old cast iron skillet but after moving so many time it got lost so I went out and bought a Lodge Logic 10" and 12" cast iron skillets. Seasoning Cast Iron Skillets.

Skillet Handle Mitt for Cast Iron Skillets

They come pre-seasoned but I wanted to season them even more before I started cooking and during my research on the best way to season a cast iron skillet I read an article which said "anyone who has cooked with Iron Skillets knows at least once how it feels when you grab the handle of your HOT Skillet. OUCH!."

That got me thinking since I do not want to know what that feels like so I decided I would not be one of those unlucky people who have experienced what it feels like to grad a HOT handle so I came up with a design and made me a skillet handle mitt and love it and so far I have not got BURNT!

I made a few and gave them to my family and friends that also use cast iron cookware and they loved the Mitt so I decided to make some more and see how they would sell online and they have become our "TOP Selling Leather Product."

These mitts will last a long time and have very low maintenance, just wipe down with a slightly damp cloth as needed and they also come with a handy loop so you can hang up your mitt so you always know where its at when you need it the most - On that HOT Skillet Handle - Don't every get burned again... Get your Skillet Handle Mitt Today!

You will be the envy of all your cast iron cooking friends when they see you pull out your Leather Mitt.

Zippo Lighter Cases

Important Notice: Our Zippo Lighter Cases are designed to allow you easy access to your lighter as well as protecting your lighter from scratches from the inside assembly of the brass snap and we give a *Life Time Guarantee on all our Zippo Lighter Cases.

We cover the inside of the case with a layer of leather which covers the brass snap assembly so your lighter does not get scratched. You can be sure your Zippo Lighter will be protected. Our competitors cases "WILL scratch your lighter" as they do not have this extra covering which allows their snap assembly to rest against the lighter which results in scratches to the lighter when inserted or removed.

In my opinion Zippo Lighters are the best type of lighters to own and millions of people would agree with me. They are also expensive and need to be protected. Give your Zippo Lighter a new and safe place to hang out. Give it the best, give it our "Heavy Duty Leather Zippo Lighter Cases."

Hand Crafted vs Hand Made:

There is a difference between hand made and hand crafted. Hand made is when someone assembles something such as a kit were all parts are already cut out and all is needed is assembly.

Hand crafted on the other hand means all parts have to be cut, sewn, stained etc and that's the main type of work we do at KRB Leather.

Working with leather is not an easy thing to master but the more work you do then better you get at it. It's also very time consuming which explains the cost of some leather products but you get what you pay for as many websites today have cheaper products but very poor quality.

Take our Zippo Cases. You can find a case for as low as $5.00 plus shipping on other websites but they are very cheap and won't last long and I guarantee you they do not carry a life time guarantee and they will not last long at all.

Leather Zippo Lighter Case

With our cases they are all hand crafted and or hand tooled and hand sewn and it takes me about 2 and a half hours from start to finish to make the basic case. I have some cases that I hand carve designs on the flap which that alone takes me about an hour and a half depending on which design I am doing so I have around 4 hours of work into those cases and I know they will last a life time and that is why I have a life time guarantee on my Zippo Lighter Cases. *see below

Leather Zippo Lighter Case Eagle

Years ago I purchased a Zippo Lighter and after filling it with fluid I put it in my front pocket and a short time later my leg started to burn and I realized I must have over filled the lighter and was amazed at how red my leg was from the lighter fluid and how long it took before the burn went away.

The very next day I was determined to find a case for my Zippo so off I went. I drove over 60 miles trying to find a case only to find one that ended up costing me $12.00 and some change and it was very cheaply made so I knew I could make one myself which is what I did. I still have that case which I made back in 1991 and that is how I got started making Zippo Lighter Cases.

We continue to build our reputation and want everyone who visits our site to know our products are high quality and made from the finest of leather and to show our customers how much we take pride in our work we give a "LIFE TIME GUARANTEE" on our Zippo Lighter Cases.

*GUARANTEE: We understand our Zippo Lighter Cases will last for many many years and at some point in time the heavy duty brass snap may need to be replaced or the threads may wear down. If that happens just send it back and I will fix it FREE of charge.

We have some other examples of our Zippo Lighter Cases. The below lighter cases are displays only. Your lighter case will look like but not be exact to what's below since I hand craft and hand tool each Lighter Case. The below cases are my personal collection are used as a visual to show some of the lighter cases designs that are available. All orders are specially made upon purchase.
