The Heathen Nation
Welcome, in an effort to maximize my reach to my current customers and future customers I have decided to add yet another way to get information out on theheathennation.com website, products, updates.
Subscribe to this blog and you will have yet another way to keep up to date on The Heathen Nation. I am still working on designs, patterns, and items for the site. The hardest part is finding wholesale vendors who can facilitate my request for "real" leather. There are a lot of obstacles in buying online compared to in person. these things are as followed.
- The grade of the leather, and if the leather is the grade the suppliers claim. There are several grades of leather based on size, location the piece came from, defects (like damage the cow may have sustained in its life.) and many others. The problem is you will not see any of this until it arrives. But i refuse to use leather that are not up to my standards and the standards I have given my word on and set for The Heathen Nation.
- Types of leather. Believe it or not there are many types of leather. There is veg-tan, which I use a lot. You can carve in it, dye it, or paint it. Then you have chrome-tan. This leather is already dyed, you can still carve or stamp designs into it. But you have to order the color you want. Also any imperfections can be easily seen.
There is a supplier that is about 2 1/2 hrs. away from me but there prices are a little high and I have as of yet been allowed to set up a business account. I wan working hard to get it done and to get product listed. But I will not compromise my oath to you the customer and to myself to produce top quality merchandise at a the lowest possible price.
Thank you for patronage,
The Heathen Owner of The Heathen Nation, LLC.
