    When I see videos like this, all I think of is how many real people, doing real work, underpin our very survival and how few of us are aware of our reliance on them.

    Holy crap what a lot of work to get leather. Just took it for granted. Wow!

    Wow, what care and dedication they put into their product. Great video to see where your top shelf leather comes from.

    I have a couple of boots made with their leather. It's as good as veg tan gets as far as I'm concerned. I think it's easily on par with the best Italian veg tanned leathers I've seen. It's top tier stuff and I'm glad Nicks offers it.

    W&C is the best leather. It's be nice to see more Nicks made with W&C.

    Impressive. I've heard it can take a month or more for the vegetable tanning to complete. Good on W&C to keep this process going in the USA! I have a pair of the Latigo W&C on the way. Yumm!

    It was very cool watching this. It was also very cool LISTENING to this- the music choice was awesome! Who is it?

    Once you see how much work goes into preparing a hide into leather, you understand why boots cost $600-$700 a pair.
