Authorized by Mooney Airplane Company, Kerrville, Texas
October 2, 2009 -- Bedford (in the heart of Leather Country) Texas -- Mooney Airplane Company builds the fastest hand-made piston airplanes in the world. We are now authorized to bring you hand-made, personalized leather accessories with the Mooney logo to show your pride in the world's finest aircraft.

All of these products feature a 3x1 inch Mooney logo either hand-carved or stamped into the leather and hand-painted in red, black, and silver at no charge. Other painting and carving may be optional - see product descriptions.

This is our introductory line. We hope to add more products to this shortly.

Luggage Tags - Personalized - $25 These luggage tags are hand-made from high quality cowhide, hand-stitched, hand-painted, with the Mooney logo carved into one side, and a plastic-covered window on the other side for your contact information. Overall size is 4-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches and includes a blank card 3-1/4 x 1-1/2. (We are developing a new larger tag that will accommodate a standard business card - stay tuned)

Key Fobs - Personalized - $25 These key fobs are designed to eliminate dangling nuisances in the cockpit that may interfere with the instruments. The key attaches with a screw post so the fob can be rotated up or down out of the way when the key is inserted (see bottom photo). Fobs are approximately 3-1/2 inches long and slightly over 1 inch high, and can be designed thick enough to accommodate one key or two (please specify when ordering).

At top is a fob with the newer Mooney logo on a black background on one side, and red on the other side with the N-number in 1/2 inch high letters of a contrasting color. Below it is the optional older Mooney logo in black on a red background. And below that is the older Mooney logo in red, white, and blue on a grey background. Bottom photo shows the key fob in action, pivoted out of the way in the ignition switch.

Options are:

  • Background color choices for each side (can be both the same color or different colors): red, black, or tan (if you have a custom color request, ask us)
  • Price includes modern Mooney logo in its correct black, red, and silver colors. Optional 1960's Mooney logo for $10 in a single color of your choice.
  • Up to 5 letters of 1/2 inch high N-number, initials or name stamped in background color on one side free of charge,
    add $10 if hand-painted a different color than background (see photo) (Lettering color options: white, yellow, blue, red, green, black)
  • Or, up to 8 letters of 1/4 inch high N-number, initials, or name stamped in background color on one side free of charge,

Money Clip Card Holder - Personalized - $35 Also known as a "front pocket wallet", this can hold credit cards, a pilot's license & medical, business cards, and so on. It is 3-1/8 by 3-7/8 in size. On the front side we normally carve the Mooney logo and up to 5 letters in 1/2 inch high or up to 6 letters in 1/4 inch high lettering. The back side has a metal clip for dollar bills or other paper that uses the same brilliant "over-center" mechanism that Al Mooney sprinkled all over his aircraft.

Shown here at top is the optional hand-carved, hand-painted aircraft silhouette (from your photo or ours) on a tan background on one side with initials in 1/2 inch letters of a contrasting color, and tan on the other side.

And the second example is the optional hand-carved, hand-painted aircraft silhouette on a grey background with the N-number.

Options are:

  • Background color choices for each side (can be both the same color or different colors): red, black, or tan (if you have a custom color request, ask us)
  • Up to 5 letters of 1/2 inch high N-number, initials or name stamped in background color on one side free of charge,
    add $10 if hand-painted a different color than background (see photo) (Lettering color options: white, yellow, blue, red, green, black)
  • Or, up to 6 letters of 1/4 inch high N-number, initials, or name stamped in background color on one side free of charge,
    add $15 if hand-painted a different color than background (Lettering color options: white, yellow, blue, red, green, black)
  • In lieu of the Mooney logo, we can hand-carve and hand-paint an aircraft (from your photo or ours) for an additional $50 (it is very labor-intensive to carve and paint something this tiny!)

More Custom Products Also available are the following items, each with the Mooney logo:
We would like to reiterate that these products bear the Mooney logo only because we have obtained the express permission of the Mooney Airplane Company of Kerrville, Texas. The logo is a trademark of Mooney Airplane Company. While you may see our products advertised on their web site or sold through their channels, they are not responsible for our products.

I now have a laser-generated Mooney logo stamp that allows me to create a very accurate reproduction of the Mooney logo in leather. The key fob and red luggage tag photos you see on this page were made before I had the stamp, and they were hand-traced, which explains why they look less "crisp" than the other logos you see here. Most everything that is made with a 3 inch wide logo will be done with the laser-generated stamp now, while anything larger will be traced onto the leather and hand-cut.

Got an idea for a product you'd like us to carve out of leather? Let's hear it! We're working on some belts, but there are so many different options that we just haven't gotten around to listing all the customization options yet. Any extraordinary work will require an additional fee, but we will let you know that up front after we see your customization request.

Shipping is extra and based on time frame desired.

All these items are made by hand (NOT in a sweatshop in Guadalajara either) and require a substantial amount of labor to craft them, during which time we could be out flying a Mooney! But hey, what can we say? We're addicted to the wonderful aroma of raw leather.

We have a certain number of leather pieces cut and pre-punched for us by an outside manufacturer, but we are switching over to cutting everything ourselves by hand from select full grain veg-tanned double shoulder cowhides, and we dye everything by hand. Currently we are also hand-stitching many items but also just acquired an industrial leather sewing machine to free up more time for the creative process. By default we will choose a compatible thread color for all stitching, but if you would like a contrasting color, just let us know.

All items are coated with many coats of shiny waterproofing finish so they will last for years and look gorgeous. We recommend Lexol Neatsfoot Oil to maintain leather that will be subjected to a lot of outdoor usage. Despite our use of top finishes, the veg-tanned leather we use is not waterproof and will discolor if it gets wet, so try to avoid water as much as possible.

Turnaround time from placement of order to shipment is normally 1 week, but can USUALLY be expedited to 2 days with payment of $25 rush fee... unless I'm off flying my Mooney somewhere.
