Hermann Oak® Leather

Hermann Oak tannery specialises in vegetable tanned leather tanned the traditional way in pits, at their plant in St Loius, Missouri, USA. Their mission is to make superb leathers for customers who create works of art, which they have been doing since 1881.  Since  1994 Toowoomba Saddlery has been the sole distributor for Hermann Oak® Leather in Australia.

Leather working experts look for beautiful, natural grain, solid feel, and smooth, even dyeing and oiling qualities. And most importantly, they look for leather which carves easily and stamps deeply. That is why Hermann Oak® Leathers are the preferred choice.
Hermann Oak® Leathers take the boldest designs as well as the finest, most delicate details. Impressions stay deep, even with repeated flexing.
