● The engraving of the Man in the Arena is as follows:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

ABOUT THE LEATHER
We source full hides of leather made in the USA and humanely sourced as a by-product of the food industry, they are natural and environmentally friendly.
“Veg-tanning is a natural, eco-friendly process that produces durable, exquisite leathers recognized for their depth of color and rich patina. Simply put our leathers not only endure, but get better with age.” Wickett & Craig
Please keep in mind that leather is an organic material that is unique and one-of-a-kind. The natural variations and imperfections contribute to its beauty and authenticity.
We strive to use the best available, keeping any major visible characteristics minimized, however you may still see color variations and natural differences such as bug bites, dark area scratches, scars, specs, divots, processing marks, stretches and more.
We do not further process, dye or try to hide these marks. We feel the natural characteristics in the leather are what makes it a beautiful, natural & unique gift.
