Welcome to our family of fine leathers. Quality leather begins with the best hides, and we use only Prime Grade Heavy U.S. Native Steer Hides in our St. Louis tannery.

Our tanning process has changed little since Louis Charles Hermann originally formulated it in 1881. We still use the finest natural tree bark in our tanning liquors for wonderful richness and texture. The leather is tanned until it is firm, strong, and tight-fibred. Our technicians then hand-work each side for a smooth, consistent, even-colored piece of leather.

We believe pride in one's work is a necessary ingredient in success - as necessary as skill, and as necessary as hard work. These attributes, along with a hundred-plus years' experience, have made Hermann Oak (TM) leather among the finest leathers available today. We strive for excellence.
