5 The time for leathercrafting is right… LEATHERCRAFTING HITS BULLSEYE OF CRAFTING FOR MANY
REASONS @damonmarkmakeit @whiskeyboundleather @teotanartistry BROAD APPEAL Both men and women leathercraft at similar levels Multi-generational –Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and parents crafting with kids Many ways to enter and
enjoy craft at all skill levels Leather has many end uses– jewelry, wallets, bags, belts, costumes and more APPEALS TO YOUNG CONSUMERS Millennials and Gen Z are driving the craft economy and leathercrafting appeals to their core
values. Leather manufacturing recycles cowhides that would otherwise go into landfills. Hand-crafted, artisanal leather goods last decades. SUSTAINABILITY Leathercrafting centers the mind and is a perfect outlet for stress reduction,
self-expression and creativity. Hand-crafted items are one-of-a-kind and highly personalized. SELF-EXPRESSION & PERSONALIZATION Leathercrafting is a job for some. 45% of older Millennials are selling their art/craft online.

$15MM in operating income Over the last 3 years, we have been investing in 3 strategic areas. Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic and restatement, we have made steady progress against our goals.

10 Financial Snapshot – 2021 2021 SALES GROSS MARGIN PROFIT BALANCE SHEET SHARE
BUY-BACKS $82.7MM +29% vs 2020 +10% vs 2019 56.9% $2.3MM operating income ($3.6 MM adjusting for restatement-related expenses)(1) $5.4MM adjusted EBITDA (2) $10.2MM cash $38.1MM inventory $0.4MM debt 713k shares 7.8% of total

12 Sales 2017-2021 NUMBER OF
STORES RETAIL ECOMMERCE COMMERCIAL 74% 19% 7% 68% 26% 6% 87% 9% 3% 2021 sales are flat to 2017, but with 13 fewer stores, store sales productivity has increased 13%. Ecommerce grew 140% in 2020 over 2019 due to COVID, but as
store sales rebounded in 2021, much of those gains held, with Ecommerce sales declining only 7% in 2021 over 2020.

13 Gross Profit 2017-2021 Since our strategic shift to EDLP pricing in 2019, we gave up 300-400 bps
in gross margin rate, or about $3MM in gross profit dollars in 2021 vs 2018 or 2017 on similar levels of sales.

14 Profitability 2017-2021 Profitability has been affected by the restatement and the pandemic in
2019 and 2020. The difference in operating income in 2021 vs 2017-18 after adjusting for restatement-related expenses is due to decline in margin rate associated with our competitive pricing strategy.

15 Inventory & Cash From Operations 2017-2021

16 Shares Outstanding 2017-2021 We have taken advantage of opportunities to buy shares in
transactions with individual shareholders to reduce our share count by over 1MM shares over the last 5 years.
