First and foremost, we’d like give a special thank you to everyone who has supported us in our first 2 years of business. By believing in our company you are helping a father and son turn their dreams into a reality. Two years ago we launched our first Kickstarter campaign, hoping to raise enough money to launch our company. A month later we met our goal and Thirteen50 Leather was born.  Top Left: Early Prototype Bifold. Top Right: Early Bifold 2 Years Patina. Bottom: Brand New Natural Bifold.      Our vision was not to reinvent the wheel, but simply offer quality...

Handmade leather goods is an over used term in our industry. Yes, we are guilty of it to a degree. What do you consider to be handmade? Should we pay more for handmade? Well we will discuss some of our opinions. You can cut leather by hand or with the help of a machine, usually a press that uses a die to cut a specific shape out of the leather.  When cutting straps you can do it with a straight edge and a knife, a hand strap cutter, or a machine that can do multiple straps at once. The only...

     It all starts with the leather. Thirteen50 only uses the highest grade vegetable tanned leather. Everybody has an opinion on what leather is best, we believe we use the best leather available. The majority of our leather is sourced from Wicket and Craig, a leather tannery in Pennsylvania that has been tanning leather for 150 Years. Our old world harness leather comes from Herman Oak, another USA tannery that has been tanning leather for over a 100 years. The thickness of our leather is 12-14 oz thick, you will not find this thick of leather at you favorite...

Unconditional love, loyalty, resilience, and personality.  What more could we possibly aspire to offer as humans?  I’ve never thought I could learn so much from an animal, but I absolutely aspire to be more like a canine than I could have ever imagined.  They don’t judge by race or the type of religion you practice.  They don’t care how much money you have or the type of clothes you have on.  They don’t care where you’ve been or where you’re going.  And they never hold a grudge. Through thick and thin, they’re as loyal as they come.  They always live...

When we were researching our business, the main thing we found was that quality leather goods were expensive. The question we were trying to answer was, how can we offer our goods at the same or better quality and actually make them affordable? We wanted to manufacture our products ourself, we wanted the best leather, we wanted quality that would last, and of course keep it affordable. The only way to achieve our goals was to use a direct to consumer model. Direct to consumer pricing. We don’t have to go to Mexico to get affordable quality, we don't have...
