Signature item

The leather
portfolio.

Made for the person who still values carrying good work in something worthy of it.

Cut, fitted, stitched, and finished by hand from full-grain leather. Each portfolio is built to develop character through years of meetings, field notes, and daily use—not to be replaced next season.

Ideas take shape

One-off objects and working prototypes made to test fit, function, and feel in the real world.

The workshop

Not a factory.
A problem-solving shop.

JM IV Enterprises is Joseph Montgomery IV's maker studio—where practical ideas become tangible, well-considered objects.

The work lives where traditional craft meets modern fabrication: leather and wood alongside additive manufacturing, laser processes, and rapid prototyping. The goal is never technology for its own sake. It is the right process, thoughtfully applied, to make something useful.
