Oak Bark Tanned Leather | JR Rendenbach Factory Tour with Kirby Allison | 2020 Update

Many of you will remember our full-length video of the JOH. Rendenbach Tannery Tour we did last year. JR Oak Bark Tanned Leather outsoles are the best in the world, and as such, we talk about them a lot on this channel. Subsequently, we have decided that due to a number of questions we get regarding the quality of the outsoles themselves, and the process of oak bark tanning, that we would re-edit our factory tour into a shorter length, in the hopes that it can provide entertainment and answers to a whole host of new audience members. Kirby Allison is guided on a tour of the Joh. Rendenbach Tannery by Hanns Redenbach. This amazing factory has been creating traditional, oak bark tanned, leather for over a century. The traditional method of oak-bark tanning has prevailed through four generations of leathermaking at Rendenbach. Hanns Rendenbach and his family were kind enough to open the doors of their historic facility and show us the process that leather goes through to be considered a JR Leather Outsole.
