Our Story: Born on the Job Site

Our story began in Northern Alberta, when Al Doerksen, a scaffolder by trade, grew frustrated with the poor quality and design of the belts available on the market. Instead of settling for less, he decided to design and build his own. What started as a personal solution quickly turned into a product that fellow tradespeople began to trust — and demand.

Proudly Family-Owned and Canadian-Made

Over 30 years later, Doerksen Leather remains a family-owned and operated business based in Southern Alberta. Every belt, pouch, and accessory we make is hand-crafted using high-grade leather and time-tested techniques. These aren’t just products — they’re the result of decades of firsthand experience, careful craftsmanship, a deep understanding of the challenges scaffolders face every day.

Hand Crafted. Built To Last.

We believe in durability, functionality, and comfort. Our designs have been refined over the years through real-world feedback from the job site, ensuring that every piece we make meets the high standards of tradespeople across the country — and beyond.
