About Us 

With facilities located at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in Gloversville, NY, the famed Leather stocking Region, founder William Studenic, developed Colonial Tanning Corporation into a contract tanning business that is unique from others, and Sunderland Leather Co., Inc. into a successful merchandising business serving customers worldwide. Now on the third generation of over sixty years of experience, a reputation of providing their customers with the finest leathers in the world has been established. What makes Sunderland leather so unique? We take pride in the careful selection and purchasing of hides from North America. Products offered by Sunderland Leather include our specialization in North American hides, specially whitetail deerskin, bison and other large North American game animals. Tanning the best hides in the most appropriate manner results in a wide variety of leathers suitable for a wide range of specific uses. Colonial Tanning use environment-friendly chemicals and clean, Adirondack Mountain water in our tanning services to provide best results for processing our skins. Finally, we custom finish our leathers to our customer specifications. You may select colors from our color swatches, or submit your own for custom matching. Although Sunderland sells many types of leather the world over, our forte has and still remains the sourcing, tanning and marketing of North American whitetail deerskin and bison. Whether for garment, glove, shoe, bag or upholstery, Sunderland is premier in the market. Contact us for more information on how we can meet your specific needs.
