K-Man Report post Posted July 9, 2011 I heard today that there is a leather tannery in Kentucky. I know they do veg tan and latigo, not sure what others. Does anyone know who these folks are and where they're located? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodandsteel Report post Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) This, maybe? Can't find a website for them, and one page I saw listed it as a 1-man company. http://www.manta.com...oak-leather-llc Edited July 10, 2011 by woodandsteel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machinehead Report post Posted July 10, 2011 Do a search for Moser Leather Co. and when you are on their website click on their price list. Read their story and maybe you will find info helpful to your search. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K-Man Report post Posted July 10, 2011 It looks like it's the one in Morgantown. They're not all that far from me. Thanks, DJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
machinehead Report post Posted July 10, 2011 Triple C or American Leather Direct is in Morgantown; but if you want to visit their tannery you will have to travel to Mexico.They have supposedly great quality leather tanned from U.S. steer hides. I remember when they started Triple C and the staff should really know their way around leather because the founders came from the old Caldwell Lace Leather. Another possibility for you is Thoroughbred Leather in Louisville. They also have their leather tanned in Mexico using U.S. hides; and again are known to supply good quality leather. If memory serves, Triple C doesn't have a minimum but Thoroughbred does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodandsteel Report post Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Triple C's leather looks to be tanned by Chahin Leather in Mexico, for what it's worth, but it looks like a top-notch facility. http://www.chahinlea...mx/history.html Are there other actual tanneries in the US other than Hermann Oak and W&C?

machinehead Report post Posted July 10, 2011 Yes, there are several still up and running but not all sell directly to the small time end user. Some sell to the small shop owners through distributors while others tan exclusively for large corporations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
