    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.

    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!

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