Last week we took a look back at a few of the great things that have been created at Townsend so far this year. Continuing our nostalgic journey, we decided to look even further back, way back.
You can join on this look back by checking out our Company Timeline. We have just a couple photos of things at Townsend years ago…
But you can also take a trip in the internet Wayback Machine and take a look at the Townsend Leather.com of yesteryear, all the way back to 2002 (and further) you can see how far things have come, Townsend Leather website archive
Last week Townsend Leather president, Jared Eckler, was featured in The Leader Herald with his article about the local community and the efforts of the CEO Roundtable group that he is a member of.
The CEO Roundtable is passionate about growth and development in the Fulton Montgomery counties area. The article shows a bit of that passion as well as a passion for the people and culture of the area.
The article also displays Jared’s obvious passion for the company and the people in it.
Townsend is pleased to have a President leading us, that is so invested in the company and the community and shares a seemingly unending passion for both.

We have passed the halfway mark for year 2013, and it has been an exciting one so far. In a moment of reflection we thought it would be fun to take a glance at a few of the leathers we have created so far this year.
Covering all colors, textures, patterns, and techniques – it has been an exciting year for leather development!
Our regular readers will recognize some of these leathers from previous places, like here, here, here, here, here, and here
Take a quick look even further back into Townsend’s history
Townsend Leather wishes you and your family an exciting holiday! We will see you next week.
Whether its by way of memories or pop-culture induced imaginings; conjuring up wavy-gravy images of lounging in a wood paneled basement, listening to records on big ear-enveloping headphones, while sitting next to a leather “bumper” wrapped home bar – brings a relaxed, groovy, smile to your face.
We wanted to take this groovy feeling and build some leather options around it, but with our own Modern twist to it.
A new offering from Townsend Leather, what we are calling our, “Rec Room” series.
Taking some classic retro looks & feels and reinterpreting them for modern day.
And these aren’t just inspired by retro looks – they are the real deal. Townsend Leather has an unparalleled embossing library and most of the patterns chosen for The Rec Room series are actual embossing rolls made in the 60’s and 70’s. They aren’t retro-looking patterns, they are a step back in time to the actual patterns of the day.
You can see this 60’s/70’s, Retro-with-Modern-Flare trend influencing all kinds of things in the fashion and design worlds.
From the growing popularity of Instagram and its weathered photo look (take a look at this Instagram desktop search site: SearchInstagram), to the interior design influence of retro/modern interiors, to current fashion with mixes of patterns and dangly accessories.
This is a series of leather that you can use to bring a bit of nostalgia and a bit of whimsy to your projects, while still maintaining a modern sensibility.
These leathers are hand-crafted on supple lambskin, but can be reinterpreted for cowhide. And as always we can customize to suit your needs, use the Rec Room series as a starting point, as inspiration, a jump-off to add your own Modern Retro twist to a project.

We wanted to offer you a quick break in the middle of this week. A little mid-week fun for this “hump day”.
We recently stumbled across an old Townsend mini-site that we made a couple years ago and thought it would be fun to dust it off and share it.
Townsend Leather loves color, and made this Color Quiz Site to have some fun with the idea of “How Your Personality is Colored”.
Go ahead click the link below, take a minute to explore your Color Personality and have some fun.
Townsend Leather’s Color Personality Quiz
A couple simple choices and you get to see a tailored result that reveals something about your personality and color preference; take it a couple times and see the different results you get.
And when you’re done learning about your deep inner self; take your color inspiration and Townsend Leather product palette, and browse our sample store to really find all the colors, patterns, and leathers that speak to you.
And since we want this “quiz” to be fun (more like a quiz-show and less like a quiz-test). We want you to have a chance at winning a prize!
After you take the quiz and get inspired, make a Lightbox from our sample catalog – showcasing some of your favorite leather selections and share it on Facebook.
Like us on Facebook, share your Lightbox Link, tag us in your post, and you may just win a special prize!*
Enjoy the rest of your week and your color fun!

Townsend Leather was proud to participate in our local Relay For Life event.
Through tremendous team effort and very generous personal matching donations from our President, Jared, Townsend Leather raised just barely under $3,000!
Our tent at the walk event had a lot going on. We were raffling Yankees game tickets, and a TL Townsend Leather handbag, as well as selling cowbells, hats and other trinkets.
Another hot item at our tent was our custom made “Buck Cancer” Townsend Leather Bulls Relay Team T-Shirts.
We were also passing out Townsend Leather calendars, and even got some help from the local mascot!
We even had a “mascot” of our own, our crowd-pleasing, ready-to-entertain, HR Generalist, Ben, making sure no one went home empty handed.
And we had hand crafted temporary tattoos and hair extensions, to add some blign to your thing.
And dont forget the exciting game we setup for all tent visitors to enjoy – Pin the Mustache On The Bull!
It was a great day with great weather and great company. It was exciting and humbling to be a part of such a meaningful and powerful event.
The Fulton-Montgomery County Relay For Life event raised an astounding $108,481.68.
As always Townsend was happy to get involved in raising money for cancer research through the events and fundraisers we did in the building and at the Relay event. And we eagerly look forward to next year!
