Hermann Oak Leather

[Weaver Leather Supply]

Keplerts, I am glad to hear you are giving Hermann Oak a try, and I thank you for your order from Weaver! I can assure you that if you order anything we are selling as Hermann Oak from us it is in fact Hermann Oak. I have never seen any of HO's leather marked by them in any way to distinguish it as HO. Possibly they are marking it for some people but that's not something we have ever asked them to do. If we were selling non HO leather marketed as HO we would not still be around as a Hermann Oak distributor. I'm glad you are happy with the leather you received. Visually there is not much difference between HO and Chahin tooling leather, however HO is usually a bit more golden color. Both are sold as tannery run but generally the grade on both tanneries' tooling sides is very good.
