This is just fantastic! Archival Clothing took a trip to see the innards of the Horween Leather Company, one of the oldest and still surviving leather tanners in the United States.
Although you don’t get to see the process from beginning to end, you do get a sense from the photos of how meticulous the process is. Head on over to Archival Clothing to see the photos.

I’m having a blast browsing through all of the crapload of information made easily accessible at EveryBlock (what’s with tech companies these days bunching together two words without a space in between them?).
EveryBlock is a “news feed for your block”. The site currently covers three cities — Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco — and just about gives you all the information you might want to know about what’s going on in your neighborhood. From restaurant inspections, building inspections and violations, to crime reports, to missed connections, and even lost and found postings, EveryBlock is pretty much where you want to go to get the down-low.
To me, it feels like a mix between the best of Yelp and Craigslist (man, I haven’t used Craigslist in a while). Definitely a useful website to bookmark.
And just for fun, here’s the restaurant inspection report for the Dunkin Donuts that’s closest to my NYC apartment. Yep, ZERO violation points. :)
