Is Acadia Leather wrapping up shop?

[Cumberland Highpower]

I'm just curious. Is Acadia Leather wrapping up shop?  I see they have a sitewide blowout sale and have cut back on the days they're open/ship.

Dealt with them a bit over the years and the Hartland Tannery as well until it closed during Covid times.

I've gotten some mixed signals from them about certain leathers lately and I'm guessing and just kinda wondering. Seems like they are just a clear up shop for odd stuff/overruns etc. these days  Anyone know any gossip good or bad?

I thought about asking a Tasman rep when I last called down there, but  thought maybe best not to bring it up!  Like I said, just curious.  They've been pretty fair so far.

I've never heard of them before so I can't comment on their state of business.

Looking at the sale items, some of the pieces seem to be 2nd or 3rd grade and some may be things that don't normally sell well. Possibly cleaning out things that have been sitting on shelves for too much time.

I don't know "allot" about them either BlackDragon.  Hartland Tannery used to produce some pretty good leathers and I often bought some lots from them.  They were bought by Tasman out of KY a while back (They own other tanneries and brands such as Thoroughbred Leather) and then closed up During Covid.  I know Acadia has the same address as the Hartland Tannery, and they're also a Tasman Brand.  I guess they just use the warehouse there now?  I don't know.   I do know they truck leathers from Tasmans's tanneries in Mexico all the way to Maine. Some of the Mexican tanned leathers are a pretty close analog to the USA/Hartland stuff, but  wonder if it's just a long term liquidation outlet for Tasman selling overruns/odd lots or an outlet for regularly made stock leathers? 

I have found what lots I've bought from them to be pretty clean and of a good quality.
