LANX is proud to be working with long standing British leather supplier Charles F Stead & Co.
ABOUT CHARLES F STEAD & CO
From their factory in Leeds, Yorkshire, "Steads" have been producing the highest quality suede and leather since the 1890’s and are one of the last remaining tanneries in England.
They use a mixture of old and new machinery to achieve their desired high standards of tanning leather. Mostly using British leather, the process starts by soaking, liming and pickling the leather until they get what they call "wet blue". Then, going through numerous processes the leather is tanned in large drums and then hung over "horses" before being dried.
