My favorite book is the Bible. Just being honest. It's changed my life like I never could have imagined. I also like Atlas Shrugged a lot.

Movie? Indiana Jones for sure.

It doesn't seem right to throw out a completely subjective claim that makes all companies who don't use a certain leather from a certain American tannery look mediocre and then leave the statement there to be held as truth if it isn't confronted. I didn't do this AMA to argue with people, but this needs to be addressed because it is wrong and to address something that is wrong is the right thing to do.

Horween has a great reputation of being one of America's real good tanneries. It's true. But, there is absolutely no evidence that what Horween calls "Chromexcel" leather is any better that what any other reputable and excellent tannery produces. In fact, it's probably inferior to what we use, but I have no proof of that. It does have a nice name though.

I just can't imagine how a leather could be any better than ours for the purpose we use it for. Of course there is leather more supple and buttery soft. Unborn calf is supposed to be a really nice leather, but that just seems wrong. We use really great chrome tanned leather and I would love to see SATRA or any other scientific company prove otherwise.

It makes me suspicious that you are saying that the other leather is the best possible material. And then you and a few others post the exact same thing throughout this entire AMA to make sure everyone reads it. Later on down the page, someone is basically saying that whoever doesn't use Horween's specially named leather, that their bags are mediocre at best. If one carries that argument out, it would be to say that that tannery is the best tannery in the whole wide world and everybody is inferior to them. Them's big words. Feel free to post some evidence. Hmmm... why are you really asking this question?

Letting a tank run it over would be one. Let's see, I guess that's all I can think of. Send a pic. You need to take your bag out to play too. Otherwise it can get bored

Work hard and God loves people and is very patient and forgiving and kind.

When I was describing the way I wanted my original bag made to the leatherworker, I told him that I wanted it durable and overbuilt so that when I died, my grandkids would fight over it. And so I had to shorten that and I came up with the phrase. You're the first to ever ask that. Cool.
