THE DIPLOMAT PRIVACY TAG
Handcrafted to Order | Ships in 3 to 5 Business Days
Travel with Confidence. Keep Your Details Dark.
Your home address and personal phone number shouldn't be flapping in the wind at every baggage claim, hotel lobby, and taxi stand. The Diplomat Privacy Tag is engineered for the security-conscious traveler. Built with a deeply concealed inner pocket, your business card or identification remains completely hidden from prying eyes. The only way to access your information is to physically unbuckle and remove the solid brass leather strap.
World-Class Leather. Unmistakable Colors.
This tag isn't just secure; it is a visual standout. We handcraft every Diplomat tag from premium, full-grain English Bridle leather sourced exclusively from the legendary Wickett & Craig Tannery in Pennsylvania. Originally developed for high-end equestrian gear, English Bridle is famous for its smooth, refined finish and extreme weather resistance. Available in our rich, traditional heritage tones or our highly visible "Prism" colors to help you instantly spot your luggage on the carousel.

Hand-Built from the Hide Up
At Hellhound, there are no assembly lines. Every piece begins as an original concept on Gavin’s workbench, meticulously drafted into heavy-duty templates to guarantee absolute precision. We hand-trace and cut every single pattern directly from premium, full-grain hides. From there, we rely on time-honored methods—hand-tooling, assembling, dyeing, and burnishing the edges until they are flawlessly smooth. Finally, the piece is set with heavy-duty solid brass hardware. Nothing leaves our Rocky Mountain workshop until it passes a rigorous inspection, ensuring it meets the uncompromising standard our family name was built on.
The Materials of Our Trade
A master craftsman is only as good as his materials, which is why we source exclusively from the oldest and most renowned tanneries in the United States. Our foundational full-grain hides come from Wickett & Craig in Pennsylvania and the legendary Horween Leather Co. in Chicago—heritage institutions that have spent over a century perfecting their sustainable, world-class tanning techniques. For our premium custom builds, we turn to American Tanning & Leather in Georgia and Pan American Leather in New York. Like us, these are multi-generational family businesses deeply committed to uncompromising quality. Paired with heavy-duty solid brass hardware manufactured in Maine, every piece we build is anchored in excellence.
Furthermore, our integrity extends to our sourcing: every exotic skin we use is strictly CITES certified and ethically procured.
Leather & Legacy
Our premium full-grain leathers are designed to age beautifully. Over time, your piece will absorb the natural oils from your hands, darkening slightly and developing a rich, custom patina that tells the story of its carry and your travels. That enduring quality comes standard. Hand-built by our family and a small team of skilled artisans in the Western Rocky Mountains, every piece is uncompromisingly American-made and promised to last a lifetime.
