Uncle Lew's Leather Craft began with a simple vision: to create exceptional leather products that stand the test of time. Founded by Uncle Lew, a leather artisan with years of experience, specializing in Equine tack (gear for horses; ex. saddle and bridal). His vision began during time spent as a soldier in the Army, when he was given a unique and truly special opportunity, to serve in the U.S. Army Caisson Platoon. where he was charged with creating, repairing and maintaining the tack that was used in Arlington National Cemetary. Over time Uncle Lew became infatuated with learning new and better ways to create leather products. As his time in the Military was coming to an end, he decided to take a shot and start his own company that would be focused on continuous learning, to design better products. Now we are working with different Leather Workers across the industry learning how to develop longer lasting useful products and share that knowledge with as many people as we can.
