Three generations of leather

Nothing replaces leather.

Our story began when Alfredo Solís acquired the tannery with a simple idea: build a company on honest work, real quality and the word you give a customer.

Jorge Solís Faure carried it forward and made it a reference in traditional vegetable tanning. Today the third generation runs The Leather Company, bringing that same leather to makers across the United States from Magnolia, Texas.

Selected for substance, yield and consistent temper across the side.
Traditional tannages
Full veg and chrome-veg re-tan leather made by experienced tanners.
Drum dyed & hot stuffed
Oils, tallows and waxes worked in for depth of color and lasting durability.
Graded honestly
Grades 1, 2 and TR so you pay for the surface quality your product needs.
