Artisanal products, handmade, by me.
Free delivery in Canada on orders over $200WHAT ABOUT?
Arsenal Le Tigre that's all I'm capable of making with my hands. I'm always trying to learn. I create objects and clothes I need myself, and by using my own products daily, I can see the flaws to correct and the qualities to optimize in each item over time. When it doesn't compromise the quality and durability of my products, I try to use recycled materials as often as possible.
Working with my hands, thinking hard to design useful things, and being able to reuse old disposable items to make something new and different makes me very proud. That's my arsenal in life.
For delivery, there's no fuss with boxes with my logo, no plastic or unnecessary paper that will end up in the trash anyway. I recycle boxes and envelopes of all kinds to reuse and recycle as much as possible.

CARE & MAINTENANCE FOR ARSENAL LE TIGRE BELTS
Over time, belts wear out, change shape a little or lose their luster. This is completely normal, leather is a living material. It is also possible, despite the 7 holes to adjust the length of the belt, to need to add more on one side or the other. I therefore offer this personalized service, care and maintenance of Arsenal Le Tigre belts.
The service includes:
- Leather treatment.
- Add holes on one side or the other as needed.
- Shortening the tab if it became too long.
- Repolish the edges.
This service costs $40. Shipping both ways is at your expense. You can drop it off and pick it up at 1988 Tattoo (221 Saint-Vallier Street West, Quebec City, G1K 1K3) to save on shipping costs.

WAXING METHOD WITH THE LE TIGRE WAX FOR FABRICS
Material
- The wax Le Tigre
- Pan
- Wooden strip (included)
- Oven element
- Brush
- Heat gun
Note that the tools (brush, rag) will no longer be usable later for anything else. Always be careful not to burn the wax or textile during the entire process by not remaining stationary on a spot with the heat gun.
1.
Open the metal container. Place in a saucepan filled with 3 quarters of water. Heat over medium heat. Stir from time to time to mix the wax with the wooden strip. Do this in a ventilated area, the process produces a strong odor.
2.
Place the item on a piece of cardboard or any flat, hard, clean surface. Brush the item to clean the surface of any dirt.
3.
Apply the liquid wax with a brush. If the surface of the item is large or irregular, work one section at a time. Fill all areas well but avoid waxing the velcros and zippers.
4.
Iron the entire surface with the heat gun at medium intensity to thoroughly penetrate the wax into the fabric. Always be careful not to burn the wax or textile during the entire process by not remaining stationary on a spot with the heat gun.
5.
Repeat another layer depending on the thickness of the fabric, such as canvas or jeans for example. Clean the wax off the buttons and zippers and test the zippers to be sure they work properly.
6.
Allow the item to dry by hanging it in a clean, ventilated place, room temperature, for approximately 2 days. The item will take on a slightly darker color with a yellow tint.
That's it, your article is ready!
