We are an american made leather company TRD Leather. We are constantly reminded of how sad the leather industry (especialy for Bikers)has become. Whith even Harley Davidson having the leather products made In Korea and other over seas countries. We are a family owned and operated Company that with 7 employees make leather products for the Biker industry. we travel to over 40 shows per year and do over 500 custom pieces per year. we would be proud to be on the show

I totally agree, we're also one of the few companies making leather goods in this country too. It's terrible that an "american" company like Harley doesn't insist that the products that have it's trademark are made here. They sell for like $50- it's not like they can't make a profit sourcing them here. It's sad when greed gets in the way of quality- not to mention- the pride they claim to have as an "american" company.

Our company has been producing leather products here in the usa since 1969-

Harley used to use our made in America products, too, but switched to a cheap Chinese source (I don't want to name the product because I'm trying to get the business back and don't want to offend them).
