All manner of finished skins – smoke / brain tanned, black walnut dyed, sumac tanned, unsmoked.

Each hide is the clothing, house and nervous system of an entire animal, in which they lived out their whole and graceful life; eating what they ate, seeing what they saw, walking where they walked.   Their hide is that which, of all their body, will likely stay amongst us the longest.   Well worn and employed, these skins will see what we see and walk where we walk.   The wearing of skin clothing is something that can bring to fruition to everything they mean to us and all that it means to be on the receiving end of their generosity.
​
As it has been my good fortune to learn the ways of the tanner and skin-sewer, it also falls upon me to ensure that this all makes it out into the world.   The Herd’s Throne is now the place from where what I make in my small cabin by an old river in the Ottawa Valley, can be found by those who wish.

For custom-made commissions (the bulk of my work) please be in touch via email at daniel@theherdsthrone.ca.  From there we can begin to discuss what it is you would like and to collaborate - plans, options, sketches and a price discussion ensue.  From there, with a down payment, we can finalize a pattern, make measurements (if required, either in person or over video-chat), fit a mock-coat or its equivalent (to check the fit) then sew the finished garment.
