Hartmann. The Industrial Belting Leather used in the collection has been the finest leather available in the industry for decades and is synonymous with Hartmann briefcases. Industrial Belting Leather was originally used as belts for machinery in the 1800’s; hence the name and its strength. The full-grain leather is selected from young steer hides, chosen for their beauty and durability. Hartmann’s 100% natural vegetable vat-tanning process allows the leather to retain all of its unique characteristics, “nature’s beauty marks,” such as barbed wire scratches and fat wrinkles, giving each Hartmann piece uniquely beautiful characteristics not found in other leathers. The leather is finished with a full aniline dye system to provide rich color and water resistance that will age handsomely. The exquisite craftsmanship of bygone days is evident in every piece of Vintage Hartmann leather goods.
