A deep dive behind the scenes of Horween and Ashland Leather. 100% made in Chicago: We craft small leather goods using old-world techniques from raw hide to finished wallet.
riddle me this. why are all the sophisticated euro leatherworkers that make high end wallets out of high end stuff commonly like boxcalf, etc.. able to make such refined and sophisticated wallets, that are sleek and stylish and come in at like less than half the thickness of the stuff you showed. and yet their products last a long time. is it just the skill and time willing to put in ? Must be skill. they must be using methods that more amateur makers, and there are tons of em, esp. on youtube, just don't know how to do.

I would need a specific example to tell you what they are doing differently. From what I see a lot of higher end luxury stuff uses thin leather but they laminate on a non leather backer to the thin piece of leather. The added backer helps to prevent ripping.

@@AshlandLeather I've definitely seen that very commonly on lots of what I'd call middle tier small leather goods. The highest end stuff doesn't have as much of this. It's typically all leather, including the lining, which is sometimes a different and softer leather such as the deerskin. To be fair it does come in more fragile but with care the small leather goods still get to live long healthy lives and are very stylish and refined. Certainly wont last anywhere near as long as the idk what to call the style the rugged manly style of the kinds of small leather goods you see more commonly in youtube leather land. The wallets you showed off in the video are the best I've seen in that space. They have a touch of refinement but still have rugged and manly man vibe.

I think what turns me off about anything chrome tanned is the rubbery texture. It has a strange hand. A combination of bounce, squishiness and flex that reminds me of chewed bubblegum. I can see how the tannage would be popular for people looking for low maintenance though. It's just not for me. Gotta' have my Veg tan.

I appreciate Wyatt Gilmore's honesty in this interview. The interviewer is pitching softballs to hang on to and ride a narrative... and Wyatt stays to the unvarnished truth: Look it's a business. We're doing what we can given the materials we have. He showed no BS about some company mission or some other nonsense narrative. Wyatt is no politician, he's just an honest and pragmatic business man. Refreshing.
