AAHHHGGG
BE A SPORT…it has a one inch hole cut in the center to give them a sporting chance
LAND DAMN IT! ….The all time most popular

Now it’s YOUR TURN to get even, and this is the weapon of choice….All the great fly hunters in the universe, after they have hefted one of these beautifully crafted Pest Getters will use nothing else for ever more. Gone for ever are the gimmicks of old…the wimpy plastic always too small things of the past are no more…the old fashion wire handle with the wound paper head….are no more,…. why even the venerable wire handle with the piece of screen from the old screen door, doesn’t hold a wing tip to this new modern marvel.

Weather it’s the dive bombing zigger and zagger or the bothersome loafer that just keeps hanging around and pestering in that nasty annoying buzzing way they do…or even those quick little 8 legged things that spin their ugly webs……..nothing will dispatch that little offender faster and with more style points than the all NEW, all NATURAL, bigger than life……

REAL LEATHER SHOP CRITTER GITTER ....20 inches Tall X 5 1/2 inches Wide

Crafted of the best critter disposing agents on earth…. all Natural, harmless to the environment, wood dowel and a piece of leather powered by human muscle and the ever cunning mind of the non tiring Fly Getter that every family seems to have.

Arm that magnificent Hunter with the very Best weapon of all the ages of human kind….
The REAL LEATHER SHOP…. CRAWLING and FLYING …CRITTER GITTER….

Or otherwise known as… THE….wait for it…..it’s coming…….. my world famous……
“FLY SWATTER”

Seriously folks, this fly swatter is totally hand made by us….we cut the dowel to length, then stain it and cut the slot for the head, cut the head out of heavy leather, stamp it dye it, finish it, punch the holes in it, because without the holes the air blows the fly out of the way instead of getting it… then lace the head on …

The first time I made one was in the state of Minnesota in 1978 I was working a craft show in a Mall and the flies where relentless. They where everywhere and the pesky kind for sure. There was this one that just WOULDN’T LEAVE ME ALONE (and yes I had showered that morning). Well the thing finally settled down and I had about a ten inch piece of leather in my hand, so I reached over with that piece of leather and nailed the bugger. There was a customer looking at my belts and she saw me do that and she said jokingly, “You should put a stick on the end of that and make a fly swatter” ……well the rest is history, as they say…. and I have had nothing but fun making and selling these silly fly swatters since then and many hundreds of them later I’m finally offering them to my ETSY customers

When I had a store in West Yellowstone Montana, tourists going to Yellowstone Park from all over the world stopped in and that fly swatter was one thing they bought like crazy so they really are all over the world. I guess flies are an International terror.

If it ever comes apart or you break the stick, send it back and I’ll fix it for free…..my guarantee even goes for this silly thing…..check my guarantee in the shipping and policy section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing details

My belt doesn't fit. What can I do about it?

I consider a belt sized correctly if it's within 3/4" of the stated size from the rollover at the buckle end to the center hole on the belt.

Please,Please, Please read the SIZING information listed with each belt and in the photo # 5 on most belts. If you give me the wrong size, I will remake the belt for 1/2 price...IF....you return the original belt, you pay postage each way.

I have done everything possible to make it clear how to measure and or buy the correct size belt...I strongly suggest you read the description text of each belt and look at photo #5, short version is..measure your waist or the person's waist and give us that # or find out the pant size and tell me that figure... :-) JM

Sizing details

What do you mean "we ship by waist size"?

Waist size and pants size are NOT the same. For some reason "Pant" size is 2" smaller than the actual "Waist" size.
Let's say the pant size is 34" if you actually measured the waist it would measure 36" (don't know why).

So, we ship for waist size. If you tell us 34" that's what our belt will be 34" from the rollover at the buckle to the center hole. If you are a 34 pants you should order a size 36 belt.

Please, keep in mind our size chart when ordering is WAIST size which is 2" larger than PANTS size.
