| 1/25/24 | ![]() Episode 21 - Paul Smith | Paul Smith is a factory manager with Albion Saddlemakers, based in Walsall, England, and a global leader in the industry. Paul’s extensive knowledge of the trade takes him around the world in the company’s relentless drive for remarkable quality and superlative performance. He talks to Christian whilst on a business trip to Wellington, Florida.The Albion Brand StoryStarted in 1985 by Paul and Sherry Belton, the Albion England brand was originally born out of a desire to pioneer a truly premium range of equestrian competition saddles, bridles and accessories which exceeded all expectations.Albion’s (meaning ‘Old England’) guiding principle is simple, to always deliver a supremely superior quality product, blending traditional values and artisan craftsmanship with revolutionary innovation and state of the art technology. At the heart of Albion’s success is the tremendous pride the company takes in producing beautifully handcrafted country lifestyle items, which embrace the best of British design combined with carefully honed skills and processes that have been passed down through the generations.After realising the potential of applying Albion’s undisputed heritage for exceptional quality to other country pursuits, the natural way forward was to establish a stronger lifestyle positioning for the brand. The roll out of a carefully chosen selection of exquisitely designed lifestyle products to satisfy the aspirations and intrinsic desire for items of distinction as demanded by the discerning Albion customer followed. Currently the range includes luxury candles, timeless handbags and clutch bags, stunning silk scarves and stylish umbrellas – with further exciting additions planned. | 57m 49s | ||||||
| 1/25/24 | ![]() Episode 19 - Erica Allen | Erica Allen is the new owner of Christian Lowe Leather Care, having purchased it from Christian Lowe. They have a conversation on the business.People who know Erica well, know that she has always been really in-tune with the horses she surrounds herself with; constantly striving for improvements, no matter how subtle or small. So it comes as no surprise that sharing her education & knowledge to make other peoples horses more comfortable would be of interest to her. Given her years working in veterinary medicine, as well as sales revolving around the comfort or horses all around the world, the services Erica offers all logically fell into place as the perfect union to enhance the comfort of horses. Erica is also a dressage rider, coach and trainer known for her attention to rider position, balance and subtle use of all aids to communicate with the horse in a kind and fair manner. She strongly believes there is always room for improvement. While her passion lays in dressage, her eye & experience isn’t limited to that discipline. Many people may be surprised to find out that her passion was swayed by an accident resulting in a broken back. It was a blessing in disguise resulting in her uncharacteristic ability to pin point and discuss minute points & feelings that most riders have not contemplated about themselves or their mounts. | 32m 01s | ||||||

| 1/25/24 | ![]() Episode 14 - David Himel | From the Himel Bros. website – My passion for leather jackets grew out of a vintage clothing business that I started in 1993. The beginnings of the internet and the desire to accumulate knowledge as to which garments had value led me to research every detail of construction, heritage, and history of each rare piece I found. It was only after the publication of Rin Tanaka’s book Motorcycle Jackets: A Century of Design did I realize that I had been the source of many of the jackets in the book. It was that book that metamorphosed me from seller, to collector and researcher of leather jackets. My own family history was in sportswear manufacturing from the 1930s until the 1960s, so I felt a quasi-spiritual connection to the history of clothing manufacture. Even the name—Himel Bros. Leather—is an homage to my grandfather and his two brothers. I contacted the oldest schmata men left alive and picked their brains on company histories, sewing techniques, and designs to understand how to make perfect jackets. By working with some of the most talented knowledgeable people in the business, Himel Bros. was born out of sweat and research.I tracked down the finest most authentic hides from the best of the best tanneries globally, sourced the finest replica zippers from Japan and accumulated old stock parts over the course of several years. I sourced original machinery and parts, and where none were available, found the most authentic new materials for each period of jacket. I drew upon my collections of the rarest designs and tailored each pattern by hand, making each jacket one by one using 1930s bench made techniques.Our team are some of the finest leather craftspeople in the business and we pride ourselves on trying to be the best of the best as garment makers. Himel Brothers believes everybody deserves to have “One Good Thing”! | 56m 53s | ||||||

This hobby quickly grew into an obsession, a mission to further her learning, practice tirelessly and become a skilled craftswoman, full-time working artist.Being an environmentalist herself, Cassandra strives to produce products that are sustainable and built to last. Sourcing leather thoughtfully is one of the top priorities for staying earth-friendly.

It provided a way to focus my mind, and gave me a lot of time to pursue another avenue to researching my passion for history and archaeology. For me Leatherwork is also about function. I use traditional methods because they have also been developed over thousands of years, and are often the most functional and practical. I want my work to outlive me, and so I strive to create the most durable works to combine function and beauty.Leatherwork is my connection to the past. It is my way to solve problems as our ancestors did, to work at my own pace and see the world as they did.When I take knife, needle and thread to leather, it is with the same techniques that leather craftsmen have used for thousands of years as I explore early Medieval leatherworking methods and tools alongside their contemporary counterparts.There is the inherent challenge of trying to solve a problem using only the most basic of tools.It is my passion to recreate ancient Pictish artwork from the stone carvings and jewllery, bringing the old medium back to life in leather, and to research and produce historic replicas based on archaeological finds. | 44m 59s | ||||||
