๐จ Ever wondered where the worldโs finest leather is born? ๐โจ
We had the incredible opportunity to tour the legendary Horween Leather Company in Chicago โ and it did not disappoint! ๐ญ๐งต
Our amazing host, Skip, welcomed us into his 5th-generation family-owned tannery, where tradition, craftsmanship, and passion for leather run deep. ๐ผ๐
Founded in 1905, Horween is one of the oldest continuously running tanneries in the U.S. ๐บ๐ธ Theyโre best known for tanning premium cowhide, shell cordovan, and chromexcel โ leather that ends up in NFL footballs ๐, high-end shoes ๐, luxury bags ๐, and American-made accessories you know and love.
๐ฅ The smell of the hides, the sound of machinery, and the sight of skilled hands at work โ itโs leathercraft history you can feel.
๐While in town, I also made a stop at The Tannery Row โ Chicagoโs premium leather retailer. ๐๏ธ๐ If youโre into top-quality hides, this place is a must-visit. Their selection of Horween leather is next level! ๐
