Our Quality

Fewer Seams

While our thread boasts exceptional quality, it inherently falls short of the sheer strength found in a solid piece of premium American leather. Recognizing this, we strategically minimize seams in our designs to reduce stress points. By prioritizing a minimalistic approach, we aim to enhance the overall durability and longevity of our products.

Hand-stitching

Stitching isn't just a detail to us; it's a fundamental element that defines the quality and construction of our products.

In our craft, we employ saddle stitching, a time-honored technique named after its preference among saddlemakers. The choice is deliberate—considering the resilience required for horse saddles that endure wear and tear over decades, we recognize its enduring quality.

Our saddle-stitching method involves using a single, long strand of three-strand cord thread, crafted from wax-coated polyester (known for its exceptional strength). The meticulous process entails weaving the thread back and forth, creating a robust and overlapping pattern around the seam. To reinforce the integrity of the stitch, we backstitch at least four times through the same holes. Finally, we meticulously burnish over the ends, ensuring a finish that resists unraveling. This commitment to saddle stitching reflects our dedication to crafting products with enduring strength and quality.

Hand-punching

Hand-punching is an integral aspect of our craftsmanship, echoing our commitment to meticulous detail in the creation of leather goods. We opt for a hands-on approach, ensuring that each hole is carefully punched with precision. This manual technique not only adds a personal touch to every product but also allows for a level of control and accuracy that machines cannot replicate. The artistry involved in hand-punching contributes to the overall uniqueness of our leather goods, enhancing their character and ensuring that every piece is a testament to the dedication invested in its creation.
