Hello, thread.
I was looking at the Hermann Oak Tannery's website (a tannery in my hometown of St. Louis-coincidentally I also went to elementary school and high school with the owner's daughter). Mr. Hermann states that prices are rising for American hides and also delves into what he thinks is causing it. Not exactly related to the properties of leather...but he does mention how hormones affect the quality of leather. I don't know if DWF ever buys American leather, but I'd be interested to hear if he does, whether he has shared Mr. Hermann's experience.
