Diamond Bar Leather

“I am a little bit obsessive-compulsive and I like to take the time to make goods that will last. People work hard for their dollars and they should get good value for what they spend.”
— Dylan Borowski

The next time you check out the Professional Bull Riders Team Series on CBS television or a streaming video service, take a good look at Cooper Davis. He’s a top bull rider, the 2016 PBR world title holder and an athlete who knows how to handle a ton of bucking, twisting muscle. If Davis is lucky, he’ll make the eight seconds to a good pay day. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get a good look at the hand-crafted leather chaps he is wearing, the handiwork of Dylan Borowski, founder of Diamond Bar Leather.

“Chaps take a lot of wear; they have got to be made well to last,” Dylan says. “I like a challenge.”

College Station, Texas, is where Dylan Borowski makes bull riding chaps for Cooper Davis, as well as the other leather goods he markets under his Diamond Bar Leather brand. Working through Instagram and word of mouth, Dylan has a rapidly growing clientele and a rapidly growing product line.
