Origin of USW hides

Post by Raider S »

Because it is of some importance to me, I would like to know if anyone out there is aware of where USW is currently getting some of its leather from. I'm mostly interested in the goatskin as I know G&B says there's is from Baluchistan.

Thanks in advance.

A big thanks for that!

Let's hope it's not a trade secret though...

Shouldn't be.

The VIP jackets have been made from French cowhide, and it's been public knowledge for years, so we'll see what he says about the others.

Stay tuned.
