About us

Steve Moreland and Stefan Akers have spent their entire lives immersed in old west cowboy culture, developing a deep appreciation for quality firearms, knives, and handmade leather work. What began years ago as a personal passion and hobby gradually evolved into true craftsmanship, with countless hours spent learning, creating, and refining their leatherworking skills.

Over time, that passion grew into a vision for something bigger — a place where people who appreciate heritage craftsmanship, old west culture, and quality goods could feel at home. That vision eventually became Chupacabra Leather Co., located on Main Street in historic Chappell Hill Texas.

Today, the shop reflects the values and interests that inspired it from the beginning: hard work, authenticity, craftsmanship, and a genuine appreciation for well-made products. From custom leather goods and carefully selected knives to firearms and unique retail items, Chupacabra Leather Co. was built to offer customers a one-of-a-kind experience rooted in Texas tradition and culture.
