All of our leather starts with hides from the USA, Italy, Portugal, or Spain. These premium selection hides are then tanned in North America or Italy at some of the most renowned tanneries in the world. Our two largest partners include the gold certified Le Farc tannery in Mexico and the world famous Horween tannery in Chicago. Le Farc was a finalist in the Americas region for the Tannery of the Year award in 2013 and is gold-certified for environmental sustainability by the Leather Working Group. Horween has been in operation since 1905 and is one of the best known tanneries in America. Aside from making the revered Chromexcel leather that we use, they are also the official leather provider to the NFL.
