The Tannery: Hides from the USA, tanned in the USA. Buckleguy House Leather.

• Crazy Horse leather is produced from North American Bovine Cow hides. As you will certainly discover, Crazy Horse leathers are known for an aggressive pull up, rugged appearance, and natural/earthy color tones. Crazy horse is a hot stuffed leather with a high grease content. The leather is tanned and produced with much of the natural characteristics of the hide to emphasize the uniqueness of the leather. There is a reason this leather has become a favorite in the leather accessory market!
• Crazy Horse vs Tortoise: 
• Tortoise has a softer temper as it is tumbled in the drums for a significantly longer time. The grain is naturally pebbled due to this, whereas Crazy Horse has a smooth grain. Tortoise uses a harder wax creating a 'bursting' pull up, compared to a more fluid pull up in Crazy Horse. Tortoise surface has a 'wetter' wax appearance where Crazy Horse has a 'matte' surface appearance. Tortoise typically has more vibrant color tones, where Crazy Horse is typically darker.
• The leather is produced at a multi-generational tannery here in the USA. They are a 'made-to-order' tannery, adhering to strict requirements from clients at leading accessory fashion houses, boot makers, and the like.
• The tannery complies 100% with all USA environmental protection laws.
• All leather hides come from the USA, providing the tannery with the highest quality raw materials and a fully traceable supply chain.
• 100% Aniline finish: The use of transparent aniline dyes allows the unique grain texture of the hide to be visible.
• These leathers are commonly used for premium leather goods such as bags, wallets, boots, saddles, duffles, briefcases, equestrian, and other small leather accessories.
