Reviving American Craftsmanship 🇺🇸

The U.S.A. doesn’t make these solid brass snaps anymore. Not a single one.

Just a few decades ago, USA manufacturers boasted that “9 times out of 10” they’d make the parts in New Britain, Connecticut.

Casting brass and finishing these snaps used to be a competency of American manufacturing. Now it’s gone.

We were able to get our hands on a few boxes of these NOS snaps from 1951 for a project launching soon. Keep an eye out!

@VatoBlancoStore @thewoolshire here’s a lamb recipe for when the doubters are doubting

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@tertius @thewoolshire Yeah! I suppose it’s like anything, depends what you consider the baseline. I’d take USA lamb I’ve had over beef most days.

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@je4n_luc_picard @thewoolshire I suppose I’m judging USA lamb based on a local farm raised lamb so it may have been a cut above conventional American lamb.

All that to say, mainstream American lamb can become a thing to behold.

@tagsalegirl I’ve heard some really crazy things about the old bells. Not sure what’s all true but they are truly iconic.

I’ve been doing leatherwork for over 12 years and it’s taken that long to bring 100% USA sourcing together for a lifetime duffle bag. Thanks for helping us bring back USA Manufacturing!

@4GrahamWilliams Thanks for the leads. We’ve bought from both companies but haven’t been able to get this piece. I’ll ping both and see if they have any solutions.

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@Must_Save_USA Interesting. We just had a “Made in Italy” belt come into our shop that was built like a cheap laminated department store belt. Devoid of its roots and depressing.

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

Ah yes, the $148 “American Classic” imported belt made in Italy.

It doesn’t have to be this way 🇺🇸

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@darin_alpert @GreatGheeCo @JasonBassler1 Let’s get you some USA leather goodness. Send us a message

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@iteriwarren Very hard to get quality and domestic quality. We can bring it back. Enough demand and we can attain it.

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@metallwerks Yes yes and yes

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@Activist4Sanity I should clarify, we do offer nickel for those who want it but highly recommend the raw brass hardware.

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@Activist4Sanity Boy do we have good news for you. All of our buckles are RAW BRASS. The good stuff 🇺🇸

[Homestead Brand @HomesteadBrand]

@Turbodumpster You’re in the right place 🫡
