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.
