The State of the Market

Since 1905 it has been our mission, and our passion, to produce leather of the finest quality possible. This is a commitment that we put into practice in our operations on a daily basis. Just when it seemed as though we had seen it all in the leather industry, a new challenge has presented itself. Hide prices have now reached historical highs. Admittedly, this is not a good situation for anyone. While we have all managed to move beyond the troubled economy of a few years ago and started to see encouraging signs of recovery, this is the type of obstacle that can potentially derail those efforts.

Perks

I recently received a pair of boots from Carmina and they are truly exquisite. I'm particularly fond of the Albaladejo's work because their finishing techniques leave the leather looking so natural. Both the men's and women's collections are worth taking a look at.

By Request - What's the Difference?

In a post a while back I asked if there were any topics that anyone wanted some more information on. Jason and Chris specifically commented that they wanted to hear more about Aero and/or their horsehide jackets. I'm going to try to deliver info on what seems to be a major distinguishing factor for many people in terms of leather jackets - horsehide or cowhide? This is also an appropriate time to explain the differences between the other types of hides that we process.
