    Q: Where does our leather come from?Ā 

    A:Ā We use heavy Native Steer hides coming from major U.S. Tanneries. Due to theĀ competitiveĀ nature of our retailĀ field, we do not disclose our actual sources. But, of majorĀ concern is ourĀ environmentalĀ responsibilities. Our tanneries useĀ major U.S. beef packing houses, where the cattle are processed under strict USDAĀ supervision in the most humane way possible.Ā 

    Q: What is oil tanned leather, and why is it better?Ā 

    A:Ā Oil tanned leather is unique because it has special oils & waxes applied during the tanning process to give the leather a very soft and supple feel that is resistant to water and other elements. The leather has a wonderful full bodied hand that is the perfect combination of softness and rugged durability for bags, boots, chaps, and more!

    Q: Can I get an item that I already own embossed with my initials?
