Try Pitman's Custom Leather, good people in Louisiana and do great leather work.

El Paso Saddlery?? i'v never bought from them.

I have a HunterCompany cobra sling on my rifle - don't know if they make custom stuff or not but nice, US-made leather slings. Mine's 25 years old and my dad's probably 40 y/o.

My friend’s wife bought him a nice leather sling from Etsy with his deceased dad’s signature burned in to it. It was really nice. Choked me up a little when I saw it. He was a great guy to us growing up.

Yeah not sure why I got DV’d. I wasn’t being a smart as there is a lot of cool stuff available on Etsy.

The sling in the golden boy pic - I bought some straps, rivets, etc. from Tandy Leather and made a few simple slings.

Mexico has some world class leather artists, I’ve seen their work in person including exactly what you’re asking for.

Why You only considering US?

I got my dad a brass stacker sling for his Henry.
It’s really nice and very comfortable

I responded in the holster thread and it made me remember Lobo Gun Leather does custom work. I checked and he does do slings and butt covers with custom etching. I can vouch for his work, he is a really nice guy that did great work on my holsters.
