Tyler Shupe Leather
Stirrup Flag Holder – Leather Flag Boot, Hermann Oak Harness Leather
Whether you're carrying the colors in a grand entry, running a sponsor flag around the arena, or riding a parade route, the flag pole needs somewhere to sit besides your boot. This stirrup flag holder gives it one. The pocket is cut from Hermann Oak harness leather, stitched with white thread, and hangs off your stirrup on two latigo connector straps with nickel plated buckles. Drop the pole butt in, keep one hand on the staff, and ride.
Why harness leather
Hermann Oak harness leather is a heavy, hot-stuffed hide packed with oils and waxes at the tannery, so it stays firm enough to keep the pocket open for the pole while still shrugging off sweat, rain, and arena dust. The latigo straps are cut from the same leather we use for our cinch straps — supple, resists stretching, and won't crack when it gets wet and dries out again. Every holder is stamped with our maker's mark.

Questions riders ask
How does it attach?
The two latigo straps buckle around the stirrup so the pocket hangs on the outside of your foot. Buckle them snug and the holder stays put at a lope; unbuckle them and it comes off in under a minute for a plain-tack ride.
Will it fit my stirrups?
The straps are adjustable and fit standard Western stirrups, including our rosewood and stainless stirrups. If you ride an unusually wide or thick stirrup, send us a note with the measurement before you order.
What size flag pole does it hold?
Any pole up to 2" in diameter. The pocket is 8" deep and 3.25" wide, so the standard poles used for grand entries, drill teams, and parades drop right in. It holds the butt of the pole; you still guide the staff with your hand, the same as any stirrup-mounted flag boot.
How fast does it ship?
Flag holders are kept in stock, so there's no build time — yours goes out as soon as your order is packed. Like everything we make, it's covered by our lifetime guarantee.
Outfitting for a long day in the arena or on the trail? Our leather water bottle holder rides on the rear billet, and if your stirrups swing loose, a pair of stirrup hobbles keeps them hanging straight.
Shipping & Returns
100% Satisfaction Guarantee & Lifetime Warranty
Every Tyler Shupe Leather product is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials — every item we sell, no exceptions. No product is excluded; the warranty covers defects, not normal wear or misuse.
If your product ever fails because of craftsmanship or materials, contact us as soon as possible and we will repair or replace it free of charge. The warranty applies to the original purchaser. Normal wear and tear, misuse or neglect, prolonged water damage, and alterations made by someone other than us are not covered — but if you’re unsure, just reach out. We’re always happy to take a look. Full details and care requirements are on our Warranty & Leather Care page.
Returns
Yes — we accept returns. Eligible items may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund.
- Items must be unused, unaltered, and in resaleable condition, with their original packaging.
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method once your return has been received and inspected. Please allow 3–5 business days after inspection for processing; bank posting times vary.
- Original shipping charges are not refundable. Only the price of the returned items is refunded. If your order shipped free, nothing is deducted for the original shipping.
- Return shipping is paid by the customer. You can use our prepaid label — the cost of the label is deducted from your refund — or ship it back with your own insured carrier.
Final Sale — Not Eligible for Return
- Custom, engraved, personalized, and made-to-order items are final sale. They cannot be returned or exchanged. (The lifetime warranty still covers them against defects.)
- Clearance and other final sale items.
- Items showing wear, damage, odors, or alterations.
- Leather damaged by improper care (harsh chemicals, sealed storage causing mold).
- Gift cards.
How to Start a Return
- Email hello@tylershupeleather.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and what you’d like to return.
- We’ll reply with return instructions and your prepaid label option.
- Send the item back unused and in its original packaging. Once it arrives and passes inspection, we issue your refund.
Belt Size Exchanges
Belts are measured from the fold at the buckle to the middle hole, and sometimes the number just isn’t right. We are happy to exchange new, unworn belts for a different size.
- No time limit. As long as the belt is unused and in original condition, we’ll exchange it — there’s no deadline on a size swap.
- You pay shipping both ways — shipping the belt back to us, and shipping on the replacement belt.
- Custom, engraved, and personalized belts are final sale and cannot be exchanged.
- Not sure what to order? Our Belt Measurement Guide shows exactly where to put the tape.
How to Start an Exchange
- Email hello@tylershupeleather.com with your order number and the size you need — before sending anything back.
- We’ll confirm the size you want is available and send you return instructions.
- Ship the belt back to us. When it arrives, we’ll send a short invoice for shipping on the replacement — once that’s taken care of, your new belt goes out.

Shipping & Processing Times
We do our very best to get all in-stock orders shipped within 2–3 business days of being placed.
Because our products are handcrafted and we’re a small operation, there may occasionally be times when processing takes up to 4–5 business days. If that happens, please know we’re still working hard to get your order out as quickly as possible.
Custom, engraved and made-to-order items are built for you from scratch and take longer — we’ll email you an estimated ship date after you order. If you need something by a certain date, message us before ordering.
Free U.S. standard shipping on orders $99+ (after any discount codes). Orders under $99 ship for a flat $9.95; standard shipping typically takes 3–7 business days once your order is on its way.
Expedited Shipping
For a flat $25, our expedited processing and shipping option moves your order to the front of the line and ships it via USPS Priority Mail — about 2–3 business days from order to door for most U.S. addresses.
If you need an item shipped faster than our expedited option, please contact us before placing your order and we’ll do our best to help.
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking information.
Please note that processing time is separate from shipping time, and carrier delays are outside of our control. If your package arrives damaged, email us within 7 days with photos of the box and item so we can make it right.
