The Tannery: Hermann Oak of St. Louis, MO, USA (est. 1881)

• Hermann Oak Leather Company was established in 1881 and is one of the premier vegetable tanneries in the United States, known for traditional pit tanning and consistent, high quality production.
• Made in the USA from carefully selected domestic steer hides using time-honored vegetable tanning methods.
• English Bridle is hot stuffed with a proprietary blend of tallows, waxes, and oils, creating a firm, structured temper with a smooth, refined surface.
• More structured, making it especially well suited for belts, straps, equestrian goods, and other projects that benefit from shape retention and durability.
• Drum dyed and finished with aniline dyes, allowing the natural grain character of the hide to remain visible while delivering rich, consistent color.
• Excellent burnishing and edge finishing properties, with wax content that supports clean, professional edges.
• Develops a deep, polished patina over time as the waxes surface and the leather is handled and worn.
• Strong cutting yields across the hide, making it a reliable choice for premium leather goods and long lasting finished products.
