Watch MaryAnn Murray Tell Us About Rockin’ MC Leather
In this video, MaryAnn Murray, owner of Rockin’ MC Leather in Miles City, Montana, introduces her custom leather business and takes viewers inside her workshop to showcase the craftsmanship, detail, and tradition behind her work. Rockin’ MC Leather specializes in handcrafted saddles, custom boots, and a wide variety of leather goods, all built with a focus on durability, function, and artistic quality.
MaryAnn shares that her passion for leatherwork began early in life while growing up on a ranch, where she developed a strong appreciation for hard work, practical gear, and craftsmanship that lasts. Her interest was first sparked through 4-H projects, and later reignited when she received a starter set of leather tools as a gift. That moment led her into formal training and hands-on instruction with experienced leather artisans, which helped her refine her skills in saddle and boot making. Over time, this passion developed into Rockin’ MC Leather, a business named after her family cattle brand.
In the video, MaryAnn walks viewers through several examples of her work, including a custom saddle currently awaiting pickup. She explains the design features, including a Will James tree, wood post horn, and detailed sunflower and feather tooling. Each saddle is built with attention to both function and appearance, ensuring it meets the needs of working riders while also serving as a piece of handcrafted art. She also highlights her custom boot-making process, showing how each pair is individually fitted to the customer and carefully constructed step by step for long-lasting comfort and durability.
Beyond saddles and boots, Rockin’ MC Leather produces a wide range of custom leather products including belts, wallets, purses, truck interiors, tack, and specialty items. MaryAnn emphasizes that every piece leaving her shop is made with care, precision, and pride in craftsmanship.
The video also features a student learning saddle making in the shop, reflecting MaryAnn’s commitment to teaching and sharing her craft with others. She values passing along leatherworking skills through hands-on instruction and classes, helping preserve traditional craftsmanship for future generations.
Throughout the tour, MaryAnn reinforces her core philosophy: every item should be both functional and beautiful. She invites viewers to explore custom orders, ready-to-ship products, and leatherworking classes available through her website.
