Our creation of leather products started as an effort to produce functional, high-quality leather goods that we wanted to use ourselves. All of our products are created to be functional for every day use. As outdoor enthusiasts we feel our accessories are the perfect fit for a busy lifestyle and any outdoor pursuits such as biking, hiking, fishing and skiing. We embrace the concept of rethinking minimalist design with the utmost quality materials for optimal functionality at the core of our business as well as our daily lives. Durability, ruggedness, functionality and simplicity—these are our cornerstones of our designs.
We exclusively use American Bison hides to create extremely durable goods which are all produced by hand. Bison is 30-40% greater in strength than traditional cow hide.
All of our leather goods are cut, stitched and riveted by hand and finished with precise detail in the Colorado Rockies. Our thread and hardware are also produced in the USA. We firmly believe that the character, strength and longevity of Bison leather perfectly embodies the attitude and lifestyles of the American West, with a clean contemporary twist. Each item we create is truly unique owing to the organic nature of our Full-Grain Bison leather.
Our handmade products last a long time for several reasons: high-quality leather, strong brass hardware and thread, hand stitching using the saddle stitch, our attention to detail and an artistic approach. We invite you to invest in something that is made in USA and will last a lifetime.
NOT ALL LEATHERS ARE CREATED EQUAL
It is essential for consumers to be knowledgable about their purchases and the understanding of superior vs inferior leather products and types of leather. How does a shopper know what to look for in leather goods? For high-quality leather, it all begins with the grade category of the leather and how it has been constructed and/or processed. These factors determine the leather’s strength, durability, and wearability or patina over use and time. If you want your leather to look good and stand up to the test of time, you need to select high-grade leather such as our FULL-GRAIN BISON.
Leather grades to know and understand are:
– FULL-GRAIN
– TOP-GRAIN
– GENUINE
– BONDED
