Maker Bretts'
Background
Brett is a third generation Oregon Buckaroo. Brett grew up cowboying and started
working for large cattle operations when he was 17. His love for the cowboy life
and his desire to travel was suitable for Brett to take his riggings eastern to
Wyoming, Nevada, and Montana as a young man and he worked seasonally breaking
colts in the winter for some outfits and leading summer pack trips and guided
hunting trips with some of the finest guest ranches and outfitters in the west.
During the early fall Brett would
begin work getting hunting camps ready for clients and then he would lead hunt
trips until the season ended
in the Bob Marshal Wilderness area. In the winter Brett spent a lot of
time with oldtimers at ranches fixing horse tack, making saddlebags and
headstalls but didnt really know he would be working with leather as his primary
interest until during a summer pack trip when Kristin (his future wife) met a
fellow who spoke about his father who was a holster maker for over 40 years and
was selling his business. Kris made a mental note to tell Brett about it after
he returned from the hills since she knew he liked to make his own cowboy gear
and she thought he was quite handy at it.
Brett loved to ride and
hunt more than just about anything and he didnt like to turn his head on a new
opportunity without ample thought and as soon as he was able he would make a
trip to see Maker Dave Shelgrin and see what his holster business was all about.
It didnt take long for Brett to decide to apprentice under Dave and learn all he
could from a master leathercrafter. When the time was right, Brett and Kris
bought Daves business and Circle
KB was officially born in 1996.
Since then, Brett has
focused all of his work on gunleather and has modified and perfected his
patterns to replicate truly authentic gun
holsters and gun belts that would have been worn in the late 1800s and
early 1900s. Kristin is responsible for customer service, web development and
new product development while Brett remains focused solely on making gunleather.
When Circle KB launched
their first web site it included a full range of horse tack and holsters but not
much of anything else. Today CircleKB.com
carries near 1000 old west products driven completely
by customer demand. Everything Circle KB makes and sells is because someone out
there has asked for it. Today, CircleKB.com is
considered one of the most highly visited western sites on the world wide web
and continues to honor their customers first by providing high quality products
at reasonable prices. And if they dont have what you are looking for they have a
great resource list they have compiled over the years and continually refer
business to other providers who specialize in other areas, like Custom Cowboy
Hatters, Boot & Chap Makers, Engravers, Grip Makers and Firearms dealers.
All Circle KB gunleather is
completely made by Maker Brett Park
is busy with a estimated 12 weeks
turnaround from order to shipment year round.
It makes sense to plan ahead. When you have a question
or need to make a change, Brett and Kris are always available to discuss your
needs and offer consultation and guidance accordingly. Circle KB uses only
Premium Grade A Vegetable tanned cowhide on all of their gunleather. Brett
doesn't use a machine clicker to cut out holsters or gun belts in mass quantity.
He hand cuts every piece, hand laces cartridge loops and nothing pre-dyed
or machine embossed goes on any rig. All rigs are wet molded and dried to fit
your firearm creating a perfect fit, easy draw and holster. You can totally
create your own look and finish. Choose color, tooling, conchos, initials,
custom cartridge loops. And, have all of your questions answered happily.
Special requests are encouraged, keeping our work fresh and exciting.
Quality, Durability and
Function are the hallmark of Bretts work and as Circle KB continues to
grow Brett and Kris remain committed to the foundation of their
success-listening to customers and exceeding their expectations.
