Rowland: Hi and thanks for the review. I can assure you (as Walt Buyce has also done in his email to you) that all of his products are produced in a very small and very efficient cut-and-sew shop in Gloversville, NY ... of bison leather locally tanned.
As Walt explained, bison hides are subject to blemishes and cuts - naturally occuring both in the pasture and when the aminals are brought in for processing ... which is where the hides for the leather come in.
In this day of worker shortages and supply issues, we are still very pleased that Walt and his folks continue to turn out very nice bison leather gloves, vests, dusters, wallets and more ... of American Tanned bison leather ... in the good ole' US of A.
Don't hesitate to send the gloves back to Walt, as he suggested ... or back to me ... and we'll get you a pair you can be 5 star proud of.
Thanks again:
Cecil
