Our friends at Imogene and Willie do it again...

Today, Imogene and Willie is celebrating their one year anniversary. Unfortunately we are missing the celebration, but we are their in spirit. It is astonishing what I+W has become and the lives it has touched in its first year. They are featured on the cover of Free & Easy, a Japanese magazine dedicated to Americana, and listed as one the the 21 southerners to watch. I am anxious to see what is to come for them and excited to work on more collaborations. We are working on a couple of ideas at present and hope to have picture shortly.

Regards,
Emil

Trip to Horween Tannery in Chicago

Great trip to Horween in Chicago. This is a great company, now on the 5th generation of leather masters. This is one of the few American tanneries still in operation, as most have closed or moved overseas. They take their time and do it right. It is truly a great American Company providing companies like Emil Erwin with a great American product. Thanks to Nick Horween for the tour and the Deep Dish.

Short clip of these massive tanning barrels at work. This is the process for bluing the hides, the step after they have been stripped of hair.

Imogene and Willie Collaboration

I am happy to announce Emil Erwin's new collaboration with Imogene and Willie to recreate a classic: The Mail Bag. Our version is modeled after the tried and true bag used for decades by the USPS. Timeless in design and impeccably constructed, this bag is destined to become a heirloom. Made with 5-6oz. domestic cow hide, and 10-11oz. domestic "Havana Brown" leather for the strap. Brass rivets at all stress points. Solid brass hardware. Made in Nashville, TN and sold exclusively at Imogene and Willie. Keep your eyes open for more designs coming shortly.
