Why We Use Hermann Oak Leather
We craft our premium patches using Hermann Oak Expedition 1881 veg-tan leather, sourced from a fifth-generation tannery in St. Louis, Missouri. Their leather is tanned the traditional way using natural tree barks, leaves, and acorns, producing a durable, authentic material with rich character and a clean burn for laser engraving.
- What This Means for Your Custom Hats
- Naturally tanned, not chemically processed
- Deep, crisp engraving detail without muddy edges
- Aging that develops character, not wear
- Stronger patch durability for long-term use
- Zero harmful coatings or fillers
If your brand values real craftsmanship and authentic materials, Hermann Oak is the most dependable leather you can put on a hat.
