We offer an extensive selection of leathergoods. To the craftsman, leather is an exciting material in all its diversity, from the thin strong leather of the kangaroo to the leather of the crocodile with its raised pattern. The tanner adds further variety through the different tanning processes which can bring out the different possibilities in a leather, from the softness of a glove leather to the firmness of a bridle leather. The skill of the craftsman is less in making a quality article from the leather than in making an article that brings out the functionality, quality and beauty of the leather.
Our featured item is the No. 455 10 ft. Bullwhip. The 450 series bullwhips, our own production, were used in the Indiana Jones movies. This whip, as the No. 453 8 ft. length or the No. 455 10 ft. length, became an icon when it was so skillfully woven into the story by Glenn Randall, the stunt director for the first movie. It became a recognized part of the Indiana Jones character, and an ongoing factor in maintaining the suspense of the story. Equally as important the association of this whip with these outstanding movies led to a resurgence in interest in whips in movies, stage performances, and in sport whipcracking. There are now large numbers of Indiana Jones fans, many cracking whips.
