Tanneries
Even with the same cowhide, two different tanneries produce two distinct leathers. Tanning formulas, finishing craftsmanship, and raw hide selection determine whether a hide is firm or supple, smooth or textured, and how beautifully it will age. The tannery name tells you the most about a hide. That is why we list them specifically, instead of using generic labels like “Italian leather” or “French leather”.
