Premium American Steerhide
Used In
Found In
Selected from the finest American cattle ranches, our premium steerhide undergoes traditional oak tanning processes that have remained unchanged since 1970. This full-grain leather develops a rich patina over time, becoming more beautiful with each passing year. The natural characteristics and markings in each hide ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.
Traditional Oak Tanning

Found In
Our time-honored oak tanning process takes 6-8 weeks longer than modern methods, but the results speak for themselves. Using the same oak bark extracts our founders employed in 1970, this process creates leather that's not only durable but develops character over decades of use. Each piece tells a story through its natural aging process.
