Welcome (back) to your grandfather's leather

Quite simply the most beautiful, sturdy, sustainable and natural vegetable-tanned tooling leather from St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

You may never have felt leather like this before. Silky smooth and naturally grained. Rubbed with oil dyes by hand. Stained, not painted. Just as a fine wood grain should be.

Sustainability
