Gibbo. My grandpa.
The old man
had range.
Leatherworker. Motorcycle builder. Thought Mexico was a reasonable place to go for a burger.
Meet Gibbo. My grandpa.
The long way
to lunch.
A burger run could mean taking his ’37 Harley from Hutchinson, Kansas to Mexico.
He made leather goods. Built motorcycles from parts. Built his own home and shop. Then he’d head off to Mexico for months at a time.
His wallet was simple. His life was anything but.
Joshua / Gibbo’s grandson
Get to know the old man ↗A note from his grandson
I went my
own way.
Look where
I ended up.
When I was little, I called it “wurking.” Really, I was spending time with my grandpa in his leather shop.
Then I went off into tech. Built companies. Made my own life.
Now I’m back at a leather bench. Still riding motorcycles. Still feeling that pull toward Mexico. Enjoying the same work I loved as a boy.
After a lot of life, I’m Gibbo after all.
Switchback is where I’m starting.
The first Gibbo wallet / Coming soon
Cards. Cash.
That’ll do.
Meet Switchback. A simple leather wallet designed around the things you actually carry. Cards up front. A little folded cash round the back.
Take a closer look ↗
Keep it simple.
A wallet for cards and folded cash. No complicated routine required.
Leave the hardware.
The design leaves out clips, snaps, magnets, and metal plates.
A little Gibbo.
A small name on the front. Quite a man behind it.
Maybe there’s a little Gibbo in you, too.
Got that
same itch?
Something to make. Somewhere to go.
A wallet to take along.
Switchback is coming soon. Expected $89 USD.
