Oak Bark Tanned Leather | JR Rendenbach Factory Tour with Kirby Allison | 2020 Update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 кві 2020
- Many of you will remember our full-length video of the JOH. Rendenbach Tannery Tour we did last year. JR Oak Bark Tanned Leather outsoles are the best in the world, and as such, we talk about them a lot on this channel. Subsequently, we have decided that due to a number of questions we get regarding the quality of the outsoles themselves, and the process of oak bark tanning, that we would re-edit our factory tour into a shorter length, in the hopes that it can provide entertainment and answers to a whole host of new audience members.
Kirby Allison is guided on a tour of the Joh. Rendenbach Tannery by Hanns Redenbach. This amazing factory has been creating traditional, oak bark tanned, leather for over a century. The traditional method of oak-bark tanning has prevailed through four generations of leathermaking at Rendenbach. Hanns Rendenbach and his family were kind enough to open the doors of their historic facility and show us the process that leather goes through to be considered a JR Leather Outsole.

Awesome tour, people don't realize how heavy wet hides are, hard workers, love working with veg tanned leather.
Hanns is quite a character. It is nice to see somebody with an infectious enthusiasm for quality.
I simply adore the way he says “adwantage”! Top quality content as usual.
I love watching these factory tours. Thanks for showing us the behind-the-scenes of these tannery processes.
Outstanding! I’m so jealous you got to tour that tannery
It was! One of my all-time favorite videos!
Thank you for showing us on this side of the world how the famous JR soles come from and made. To think JR, Horween and AE are a complete beautiful marriage like you said. Horween is made here in my hometown of Chicago. Love to see a video on them coming from you Kirby. Great job as always sir.
Nice one Kirby !keep the uploads coming I need something to watch during this lockdown!
Saw the full movie. Editing give as an excellent short video, continue to teach about shoes. magnificent
Fascinating; thanks!
Well it's true you learn something new every day!
Excellent content! Great to see such a company
Great to watch this again as I did the first video some time ago. Amazing how much work goes into the product. When the time comes, I will be using these soles as they are only a bit more in cost but so much more in quality.
Thanks again! We shortened it. One of my favorite videos. Thought it should reach more people!
Great video, Kirby! Loved seeing the JR tannery and learning how they make their leather. Und Herr Rendenbach ser gut est!!
Right on!
Great factory tour! 👍🏼 Thank you for the introduction. I have Allen Edmonds penny loafers in horween cordovan and JR outsoles. This year it will be the fourth season of rocking em, but there is still no hint on soles replacement, though it's a question of coming out frequency of course.
Amazing project. I love and admire the passion by how Hanns talks about his heritage and process. My passion about shoes and leather comes from an old diary I found in my great-grandad house where he noted the purchase of leather from Tuscany in 1936 to make shoes. Funny enough, the company that sellz leather still exists! Unfortunately, the last shoes maker in my family was my grandad, and none else kept the heritage from 1890 or maybe earlier. I want do it. You Kerby inspired me and I hope one day to meet you in Dallas to offer my shoes. Ciao, from Italy ;)
He was incredible!
Kirby. I love that tie!
Very nice explanation and informative by Mr.Kirby
Incredible tour. I really enjoyed it Kirby.
Awesome, thank you!
Very cool!
Wow. Very informative
Great information! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! My Pleasure!
Wonderful tour, wonderful heritage of craftsmanship.
It’s a sad thing that they’ve announced their closure.
Fantastic video, I hope the factory will be around for the 100 year,
Out of business since 2022.
I think I should visit this factory, Trier is not too far away from where I live!
I'm sure Haans would love to welcome you!
Kirby squatting is so funny to watch.
RIP JR.
Mr. Allison, May I ask your take on unfinished aromatic cedar suit hangers? Are they worth the few extra dollars, or are they just superfluous?
Kirby, could you review Carmina’s Adelaide 80208 Simpson shoes? One of their few narrow shoes I like the looks of.
Can you help me understand how you can raise up the water resistance at the same time as you raise up the water permeability? (~9:30)
R.I.P
Second!
They went out of business in November 2021. Must have lost sight of "the adwantage."
Any truth in the tannery shutting down?
Sadly true.
OH .... GRAIN .... I thought he said Crane
I just learned that Rendenbach is going out of business…such a shame. I have several pairs of AE shoes, which I rebuilt with Rendenbach soles. Tragic when a great traditional artisan goes out of business.
