All you need to know
Crazy horse cowhide Belt loop ✦ Free laser engraving The Voyageur ARPENT is a tape measure case designed for those who measure all day: electricians, carpenters, drywallers, or weekend DIYers. Crafted from aged brown crazy horse cowhide, which is supple and thick, it attaches to the belt via two slots on the back that accommodate belts measuring 40 to 50 mm wide. The tape measure slides into the front pocket and is held in place by a leather flap with metal snap buttons: it won't fall out when you bend over, climb a ladder, or work under a countertop, and can be removed in one motion, even while wearing gloves. Compact (13.3 × 9 × 4 cm) and lightweight (33 g), this leather tape measure case fits standard 2- to 5-m tape measures. The first laser engraving is free: initials, a first name, or a company name, for a tool that bears its owner's signature. Tape measure not included.
Crazy horse leather, a leather that lives
Crazy horse is a cowhide nourished with oils and waxes, then lightly sanded on the surface. This treatment gives it its raw appearance, shifting shades, and characteristic waxy feel: when folded or rubbed, the color lightens and then returns, like on an old workshop bag.
On a construction site case, this is an asset: small scratches and scuffs blend into the patina instead of marking the leather. A quick pass with a finger or dry cloth is all it takes to soften them. Each piece features unique shades, natural scars, and variations in color.
Why you'll love it
The ARPENT spirit
Measuring, the first action on any job site
The arpent was an old measure of area, used by surveyors and builders before the meter. The Voyageur ARPENT pays tribute to this simple action that precedes every cut, every drill hole, and every installation: taking the measure.
In the morning, you slide the tape measure into its case, close the flap, and put on the belt. All day long, it stays there, within easy reach, in brown leather that develops a patina as you work.
In the evening, the case bears the mark of the work accomplished. Engraved with its owner's name, it becomes a personal tool, one you'll keep for years.
Free engraving
Your name on the leather
The first engraving is free: enter your initials, a first name, a last name, or a short date in the personalization field on this page. The laser marks the leather deeply: the engraving remains legible despite scuffs on the job site.
For more — engraving a logo (company, club, event) or an additional text area —, check the desired option in the "Engraving options" box, just below the add-to-cart button.

Frequently asked questions
Which tape measures fit in the ARPENT case?
The case fits compact 2- to 5-m tape measures, the most common on job sites and in toolboxes. Its front pocket measures approximately 9 cm wide and 4 cm thick: a wider housing, such as that of an 8- or 10-m tape measure, will not fit. If you are unsure, measure your tape measure's housing before ordering. The tape measure is not included.
How is it worn on the belt?
Two vertical slots on the back accommodate a belt measuring 40 to 50 mm wide: a work belt, leather city belt, or seat belt. The case thus stays firmly against the hip and does not tilt when you walk, bend over, or climb a ladder. It can be placed on the right or left side depending on which hand you use to measure.
Can the tape measure fall out when I bend over?
No: a leather flap with metal snap buttons folds over the tape measure and holds it in the pocket. It stays in place when you crouch, work under a countertop, or work at height. To remove it, simply lift the flap: the wide opening lets you grab it with one hand, even while wearing gloves.
Is it real leather?
Yes, the case is made from crazy horse cowhide, genuine leather nourished with oils and waxes. It is thick, supple, and develops a distinct patina over time. Small scratches are softened with a simple rub of the finger. Each piece features unique shades and natural marks that give it character.
How does the free engraving work?
The first engraving is free. Simply enter the desired text in the personalization field on this page before adding the item to your cart: initials, a first name, a last name, or a date. The engraving is done with a laser directly into the leather, for a clean, durable finish that will not fade. On the flap or front, short text remains the most legible: 2 or 3 initials are ideal.
How can I add a logo or additional engraving?
The first engraving is free. For more — engraving a logo (company, club, event) or an additional text area —, check the desired option in the "Engraving options" box, just below the add-to-cart button: €14.90 for a logo, €5.90 for an additional text area. This is the ideal solution for equipping technicians at an electrical or carpentry company, or for a company gift in your company's colors.
Is it a good gift idea for a tradesman?
It is a gift for an electrician, carpenter, or DIYer that is both useful and personal: it will be used every day and bear their name thanks to the free engraving. It is suitable for a birthday, Father's Day, Christmas, or retirement after a career in construction. For a complete gift, slide in a new tape measure.
