Members Justis Cases Posted March 3, 2011 Members Report Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Greetings from Siegel of Caliofnria, Inc Contact Information: siegel.leather@gmail.com (emails are checked every hour) After 84Years of servicing the leather trade, Siegel of California is closing it’s doors effective 3/2/11. This has been an incredibly difficult decision prompted by both personal and economic strains. My recent stay in the hospital shows just what a toll this has all taken on me. I need to find a different avenue to use my skills and knowledge that I have built through my 60 years of life. Thus I will be starting a new relationship soon where I can better serve my customers. My customers have been the heart of my business and I look forward to a continuing relationship with them. I look forward to this new relationship where I will be able to have a more focused approach and leave behind the day to day intricacies of managing employees. For Example: Our California Double Tanned Skirting, recognized by many as the nicest skirting on the market will still be available, produced the same way per our exclusive arrangement with Wickett & Craig at $159.00/side. For now, it would be best to email me with any orders as I will still be intricately involved in the leather's standards. The leather will be shipped from Wickett in PA, but our company has developed standards for selection which we will be communicating to Wickett. You will be hearing more about this from me soon so watch your inbox! I owe thanks to all of my loyal customers who have stood by us for the last 84 years. With Warmest Wishes, Steven Siegel, CEO Siegel of California, Inc siegel.leather@gmail.com s.siegel@siegelofca.com Edited March 3, 2011 by Justis Cases Jack, JUSTIS CASES
Moderator Johanna Posted March 3, 2011 Moderator Report Posted March 3, 2011 I wonder what all that means? Thanks, Jack, he must have removed me from the Siegel Special list. ~J You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members JJLeatherworks Posted March 3, 2011 Members Report Posted March 3, 2011 I wonder what all that means? Thanks, Jack, he must have removed me from the Siegel Special list. ~J Very curious, I didn't get any notice on the e-mail special list either. His web site is still up with no mention of shutting down. Maybe he will have the courtesy to post on this forum and let the rest of us know.
Moderator Art Posted March 3, 2011 Moderator Report Posted March 3, 2011 Don't hold your breath on that one. Art Maybe he will have the courtesy to post on this forum and let the rest of us know. For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
Members Kevin Posted March 3, 2011 Members Report Posted March 3, 2011 I called the 800 number this AM and no answer, so I e-mailed, we'll see what happens. Kevin

Members Justis Cases Posted March 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted March 4, 2011 i dunno..i got this email today also....after all that went on it seems a shame that seigel leather is giving up over this. maybe not kick a guy when hes down. It appears he's not giving up just yet but I don't understand why he expects anyone will order leather from him when it has to be drop shipped from another source. Just call Glen Prout direct at 800-TANNERY and order 1 or 100 sides direct. Jack, JUSTIS CASES
Members StevenSiegel Posted March 4, 2011 Members Report Posted March 4, 2011 It appears he's not giving up just yet but I don't understand why he expects anyone will order leather from him when it has to be drop shipped from another source. Just call Glen Prout direct at 800-TANNERY and order 1 or 100 sides direct. Because it is not the SAME leather. Please do not post things that are untrue.
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted March 4, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted March 4, 2011 Steven, I don't think Jack meant to post something untrue, but was speculating. I re-read the posted email (twice) after reading your post. In a quick scan, it looks like WC is providing your hides.....but....on closer reading it appears that WC will be producing hides per your specifications, which is quite a bit different.
