Wind, cold and sun on the water dry out lips fast, and lip balm always seems to be in the other coat. The Chambless leather chapstick holder is a small English bridle leather keychain accessory that keeps your lip balm with you. It is stylish, convenient and made from the same leather as the Chambless duck totes and lanyards, which also makes it an easy gift for hunters and anglers.
What the leather chapstick holder is
This is a chapstick holder made from English bridle leather by Chambless Game Totes. It is listed as a leather keychain, so it is meant to ride with your keys rather than float loose in a pocket. English bridle leather is a firm, smooth leather traditionally used for horse tack, chosen for its strength and the way it ages with use.

Where a chapstick holder comes in handy
- Duck blind: Cold, wet wind off the water is hard on lips. Keeping lip balm on your keys means it is with you every trip.
- Deer stand: Long, still sits in cold weather are when chapped lips show up. Lip balm on your key ring is easy to find without digging through a pack.
- Boat and fishing: Sun and wind on open water dry lips quickly. Keeping the holder with your boat keys keeps the two together.
- Farm and truck: If you are in and out of the truck, tractor or UTV all day, a balm attached to the keys you always carry is one less thing to forget.
An easy gift for hunters
Gifts for the hunter who already has everything can be hard to find. A leather chapstick holder is a practical stocking stuffer, a good add-on for groomsmen or hunting club gifts, and a simple way to introduce someone to quality leather goods. Put together a small set with a Chambless leather key chain and a leather sunglass holder, or pair it with a leather duck call lanyard for a duck hunter. Bigger gift ideas, such as handmade duck carriers, are in the game totes collection. Because it is small and useful every day, it is the kind of gift that actually gets carried instead of sitting in a drawer.
Caring for a bridle leather keychain
Keychain leather takes a lot of handling, which is part of why bridle leather is a good fit: it tends to burnish and darken with use rather than wear out quickly. A little care keeps it looking good:
- Wipe it clean with a damp cloth if it gets muddy.
- Let it air dry after it gets soaked. Avoid drying it on a heater or dashboard.
- Condition occasionally with a small amount of leather conditioner, worked in with a soft cloth.
- Expect a patina. Darkening and a smoother finish over time are normal for bridle leather.
