Townsend Leather is awestruck at the dedication, abilities, and service of our country’s Veterans, especially the military vets on our own staff, here at Townsend.
These men and women are some of the most passionate and committed people out there.
We were able to take some time to celebrate our servicemen and share in their company and conversation. With lots of stories and accounts of their time in service, ranging from arm wrestling and vampires, to religion and politics, we were all pleased to share this time with them.
With nearly all of the military branches represented (all except Coast Guard) we had plenty of laughs and heartfelt moments.
We invite you, no matter what day it is, to honor an American Veteran by sitting with them and listening to their stories and perspective. You won’t regret it. Having been world travelers, seeing the highs and lows of mankind, being privy to dramatic social and political changes over the years – Veterans are a group that clearly have something to say, and that something is valuable.
A few Veterans from Townsend Leather are pictured below, after our lunch with them.
These are strong men, with a depth of life experience that can not be rivaled. They have clearly been positively influenced by their time serving our country and they are able to use that to in-turn positively influence everyone around them. Working as a jet mechanic in Japan, helping children in the Philippines (and giving them candy), giving orders in Iraq, protecting your team, and spending countless hours with strong leadership, clear goals, and the heavy burden of protecting yourself and others – will certainly leave you with a formed perspective on life and wisdom to share.
Townsend Leather is extremely proud of our Veterans and we thank them for their service to our country and to Townsend Leather.
This Veterans Day and every day, we thank and salute you.

The fine people at Chaotic Customs have been tirelessly working on a stunning show truck they will have on display at the SEMA 2013 show.

The guys at Chaotic Customs are friendly and focused with an eye for design. They have been working on a 1940 Ford Pickup Truck they will enter into a number of judged contests, they are confident their fine craftsmanship has created a winner.
Townsend is proud to be a part of this build with our Classic Antique Cowhide on the interior.
We are excited to see the final reveal of the finished beautiful truck.
It is truly impressive to see the progress so far knowing they started with something that looked even worse than this:

We will be bringing our fall fashion trend inspired Lace Weave
“Townsend Leather is officially launching a new product line inspired by the fall fashion trend of lace at NBAA 2013, called Lace Weave.
Always watching the runways for inspiration, Townsend realized that lace is back in fashion and has adapted this trend to leather so that this romantic and timeless look can be incorporated into aircraft interiors.
Lace Weave by Townsend combines the delicacy associated with lace with the durability and performance of highest quality leather.
Townsend’s Lace Weave is a gaufrage embossing that is done on center cut hides of 45 – 50 SF average size, with no pattern match lines. There are multiple finish effects and techniques that can be applied to the Lace Weave pattern including hand-tippings and antique effects. Lace Weave comes standard in various colorways including browns, charcoals, off-whites, and blues and custom colors are available as always from Townsend Leather, along with assurance of conformance to flammability requirements.
Currently a contender for Interior Design Magazine’s Best of the Year Awards new textiles category, we predict that Lace Weave will be a popular choice for interiors in the coming months.”
Townsend will also be showcasing new Leather Institute care and cleaning products. You can see firsthand the magic and expert skill the scientists at The Leather Institute can perform to bring your leather back to its original life or keeping it looking beautiful longer. Leather care, cleaning, service, maintenance, and training experts will be on-hand at the Townsend booth to answer questions, show off the new products, discuss training opportunities and give demonstrations.
Townsend will also have a plethora of other new and exciting leathers, beautiful displays to keep your inspired and plenty of interest in connecting with you and having some passionate conversation.
Townsend is truly passionate about leather, luxury and design and is always excited to be able to show those passions at events like the NBAA. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
