Hardmill is a Seattle company, started by two brothers in a garage in 2012, that sells waxed canvas and leather aprons, totes, knife rolls, skillet handle covers and small leather goods. It also sells restored vintage cast iron on consignment.
By the company’s own account, the core of that range is made abroad. Its manufacturing page says many of the full-leather products are made by partners in León, Mexico, and many of the waxed canvas goods are woven, waxed and sewn by a partner workshop in India. The Seattle shop does leather trim, finishing and custom work. Only a handful of products carry a US claim, and the product pages for the main aprons and totes say the canvas body is woven and stitched in India. This record sits at the third mark: an American company whose core range is made abroad.

Seattle Met describes Hardmill as making leather goods in its own Seattle workshop
“Founded by brothers Ryan and Michael Barrie in 2013, Hardmill makes leather goods in its Seattle workshop with enough durability to be passed down—the best kind of re-gifting.”
