Hello and welcome to Roäc!
Hi, I'm Trevin - An artist making precision crafted EDC leather gear.
Background & Philosophy
Before launching ROAC, pronounced (ro-ik), I was working for an engineering company and one of the valuable design principles we followed was "Let form follow function." This simple yet powerful philosophy has stayed with me and is the navigational torch that lights the way throughout our design process.
The unique approach I take to leather as a medium, stems from a long background in art/design as well as a deeply held appreciation for fine craftsmanship. I enjoy carrying well-made knives so I strive to achieve all the attention to detail you've come to expect from your high end cutlery with my knife and tool accessories.
I want to expand the scope of what everyday carry leather looks like, bridging art and design with tough-as-nails materials and construction to offer you a lifetime carry companion that feels like a functional piece of artwork.
Elite-Quality
My iterative development model has no end date, I never settle for good enough, and always ask "How can this be improved?"
I source my hides from world-class USA tanneries, utilize 6AL-4V titanium clips, and hand stitch every piece using the most durable modern thread available. Many of the leathers you'll find here are used by top-shelf luxury brands.
Meticulous Attention to Detail
To some, leathercraft is a series of steps or a process to follow. To me, it's an artform and I want to bring out the best of each piece of leather. Unique one-of-a-kind finishes, candy caramel burnished edges, and methodical saddle stitching are a few of the details to expect. I consider myself the pickiest customer out there so when I start crafting an order, I make it for myself and only when I am 100% satisfied it's the best possible product my hands can make, will I ship it to my customer.
Personalized Customer Service
Bar none my favorite aspect of making edc gear is the people. You guys are the best community out there and I am honored to work for you. My customers keep my campfire lit and for that you get a lifetime of support to back up your new leather gear.
