Leather is an integral part of the fireams business and we all want the best there is for holsters, belts, and related products. Following is a video of how Hermann Oak Leather co. creates the best veg tanned leather you can get, and is a primary reason I patronize Diamond D for holsters, etc., in addition to the quality workmanship of Diamond D.

What type of leather do we use?
All of our leather comes from Hermann Oak Leather in St. Louis, MO. They are known to provide the only the absolute best leather available on the market. Our leather is shipped to our shop at least once a month where we inspect every hide to ensure the highest quality leather will be used on each piece me hand craft. Our cowhide holsters use vegetable tanned leather. The benefit of this technique is that it provides a leather that will not cause your weapon to rust or corrode the way chrome tanned leather can do when the gun is left in it for extended periods of time. Below is a great video Hermann Oak has on their website showing a tour of their facility.
