Blaze Orange, also known as Hunter Orange or color No. 12199, is one of the few colors designed for a specific function: visibility. It also reminds us of days from our youth, wandering through the woods in the early fall, hunting for Chanterelle mushrooms with Pops, doing my best to remember his top-secret spots.  It's a color with purpose and history, and we're excited to introduce this exclusive color way to our online and Flagship store. 

Head over to our new TUMBLR page and follow for plenty more. We've got lots to share. 

All products purchased through the Tanner Goods web-shop by Monday, December 19th are guaranteed to arrive before Christmas. (Sunday, December 25th)

Plan accordingly and feel free to shoot us an email if you have any questions or concerns. 

Just a friendly reminder from your friends at Tanner Goods. 

Happy Holidays!

Travel is one of life's great pleasures.  Whether by land, sea, air or rail, the feeling of packing up the essentials and taking off for a short stretch (or long if we're lucky) is one we indulge in whenever possible.  For us, the essentials are pretty straight forward: a bag with ample attire, a passport, cash, and a notebook and camera to document the experience.  We travel light whenever we get the bug.  To make the journey a more comfortable one, we've designed a travel wallet and camera strap to carry these neccessities. 

We looked at the various items in our pockets while traveling and thought it made sense to keep it in one tidy Horween-wrapped package.  Our Travel Wallet is designed to hold: (one) passport good for your chosen port of entry, (one) Tanner Goods notebook for jotting down various items of inspiration, (two) tickets, depart and return, and some cash, both foreign and domestic.

The camera strap takes inspiration from one that held my grandfather's Nikon for a few decades.  With just enough adjustability and heavy waxed cotton cord attaching it to the camera body (metal is not welcome here), this piece is a reliable workhorse dressed up in rich Horween leather. 

While we're on the subject of travel, come Thursday a good number of us will be packing our bags and jumping time zones to participate in this year's Pop-up Flea.  We have the maximum amount of goods eight checked bags will allow, and are looking forward to closing the production floor for a few days and shaking hands with our east coast patrons.  We'll be manning the TG booth on the first mezzanine Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so swing by and see what goods we've brought with us.

It’s pretty easy to get excited about the holidays, but they also tend to inspire a little trepidation. Gift shopping, the increasing retail frenzy of the season, navigating the waters of family—it’s enough to put even the most sane person a little on edge. And let’s face of it: none of us is the sanest person we know. To help take the edge off of all this, we’ve got a few things to offer. First off, we’ve got new goods on offer. We’re jazzed to introduce our newest wallet additions in some time, the Quad Wallet and Travel Wallet, which add some excellent carry options to the selection. We’ve also got updated and refined Tethers for the Workman Wallet, and a fantastic Camera Strap. Just as important: All of these options are available in Horween Chromexcel leather, in our expanded color palette. What’s that palette you ask? Black, Havana, Russet, Oxblood, Olive, Tan and Natural. These colors look fantastic in person, and all will age beautifully and take on a rich patina. In addition, all our brass and stainless steel button stud hardware is now turned right here in Portland. More local is more better.

 
As an incentive to check out some of these items, either for yourself or for someone on the gift list, we’re having our annual Black Friday sale. We love our customers, and we look at this as a chance to say thanks for supporting our business with your hard earned dollars. Here’s the scoop:

 
Friday 25th: Free domestic shipping on all online orders and 20% off every single item at the Tanner Goods flagship location.

 
Saturday 26th - Monday 28th: Free domestic shipping on all online orders and 15% off every single item the Tanner Goods flagship location.

 
In addition, we’ll throw in a free gift (Wristband in any color) on all orders over $150 from Black Friday until December 15th. Just a little something for the holidays—wear it well.

 No doubt there was a time when the best bag for the occasion was the one you had. It made things simple, and eliminated a lot of thinking. However, we are big fans of closely considering how, and with what, we carry things from one place to the next, especially since it might mean we’re heading out on an adventure, if only a small one (food cart bahn mi anyone?). We have long liked the idea of a portfolio style bag, but we wanted something a little more flexible. Our tinkering led us here: The Roll Tote. Part oversize travel satchel, part media carry, this piece is large in volume but slim in profile, making it ideal for transporting files, drawings, select oversize books, or more standard bulky-but-light fare like fall sweaters. The shoulder strap construction allows for the bag to be rolled up, and secured with its own straps, making it perfect for stashing in a suitcase or duffel when you are, indeed, heading off on legitimate adventures.

The Roll Tote is a partnership with our friends at Tellason in San Francisco, who are equally as concerned with having the right bag for the task as we are. They did the cutting and sewing, and we did all the leatherwork. It’s like peanut butter and chocolate around here. Available in three fabrics: 12.5 oz. denim (the primary denim used by Tellason in their jeans) with Saddle Tan leather; deadstock 10.5 oz. brown cotton duck from Graniteville Mills with Havana leather; and 19 oz. black waxed canvas with black leather. Dual brass zippers on main closure; interior zippered pocket.Overall dimensions: 22.25” x 16.25”.x 16.25”.

It's pretty incredible to take a step back and see how far we've come in a few short years.  Our small operation has grown at a pretty quick pace since 2009, and we couldn't have made it to where we are without the support of our customers.  Every time a person purchases an item from Tanner Goods, they're making a conscious decision to not only support a company manufacturing in the USA, but also providing jobs to people who might otherwise have a difficult time finding work.  

We find inspiration in the people who work alongside of us, and believe that when you enjoy the work you do, it really isn't work at that point - it's doing something you're passionate about every day.  Our team consists of relatively young creatives, and in this economy our peers are often the people struggling the hardest to carve out a niche for themselves in the workforce.  So from all of us at Tanner Goods, thank you for supporting our company, putting people to work, and keeping manufacturing alive in the states.

And on that note, we'd like to add that we're hiring.  We're currently accepting applications for someone who is passionate about what we do, and can provide exceptional service to our customers.  The details are listed below: 

Company: Cascadian Fabrications, Inc.
Position: Customer Service & Shipping

About us:  Comprised of a handful of design-minded craftspeople, our workshop develops and manufactures heritage-inspired goods with a focus on modern craft.  Our output encompasses both private label production as well as development and manufacture of our own in-house label, Tanner Goods.  We deal in durable goods that are made to last - premium leather accessories, heavy waxed canvas bags, and other various utilitarian goods. 

Job Description:  We're searching to add a team member that has an unparalleled attention to detail, efficient work ethic, and ability to work comfortably under pressure.  Personality counts - especially within an intimate team like ours.  Candidates should have 1-2 years experience in customer service and sales, and be an exceptional problem solver.

In addition, we're looking for candidates with a proficiency using multiple shipping platforms included FedEx and USPS.  Additional fluency in Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and Quickbooks a major plus.

Compensation:  Compensation is based on experience.  Hours required dependent on weekly workload, but more likely than not it will be a full-time position.

Applicants can email a resume and references to: mark@tannergoods.com

We try not to indulge in nostalgia for a variety of reasons, perhaps the most important of them being: It only looks better in the rearview mirror. However, we can honestly claim to feel a little wistful for a time when a tie was neither a statement nor a definition of one’s persona, but simply a necessary accessory. And while we’re glad to not be required to wear one on the daily, we do enjoy their presence in our wardrobe. To help accent those moments when a tie is the call, we offer the Tanner Goods Tie Clip. It can be modified based on your mood or your outfit: The central channel holds a strip of leather—each one comes with three colors of your choice—allowing you to either match back to a belt or shoes, or simply complement your outfit as you see fit. It looks equally at home without the leather as well. Like the Cast Silver Double Wrap Wristband, Beth Wagner cast it from .925 oz sterling silver in the same hallowed space. 2" x 1/4"

On its own, there’s nothing more satisfying than a simple thing done well. Sometimes, though, by bringing it together with another element that’s equally pure of purpose, something simple can be improved and enhanced. In this case, we took our Double Wrap Wristband, upgraded the leather to calfskin, and added a hand-cast sterling silver clasp. Together, they add a rich story to an already appealing piece. The clasp was designed and hand carved in wax by our own Tiandra (T-bucket, if you’re in the family), and cast from .925 oz sterling silver by Portland's Beth Wagner. Beth’s studio is located in the historic Willamette Building, a location well known for its special role in the jewelry world of Portland. While Portland may not be Antwerp, the Willamette Building has historically been our Diamond District, and is home to some of Portland’s few remaining old-school jewelers, and those who are committed to learning from them. The bracelet features waxed linen thread lashing to hold the clasp in place, and is available in these combinations: Black/Natural, Saddle Tan/Black and Cognac/Natural  

Both the Cast Silver Double Wrap Wristband and Tie Clip are available at our Tanner Goods flagship store, as well as online at tannergoods.com

“Draw, Antonio, draw Antonio, draw. Draw, and do not waste time.” Those words were written by one Leonardo DaVinci in his notebook, as advice to his young assistant. We like DaVinci’s style, and it’s clear that when it came to his work, he had at least one guiding rule: Get to it. This week, we’re pleased to announce the restock of one our favorite tool combos that will help you do just that: Tanner Goods pencils and notebooks. These are tools, you say? To which we say: Hell yes. Made from the most basic of materials—wood-sheathed lead, and paper—these two items allow for one of the most important aspects of any worthwhile project: Its creation, refinement, and exploration. Designed to help you take what’s on your mind, from grocery lists and bills to plot ideas for your novel to innovative submarine technologies, and give it form, these humble items deserve a place in everyone’s pocket. 

Our notebooks are assembled by hand in our studio, contain 48 graph paper pages, and are chock full of handy tidbits of information, ranging from conversion tables to animal tracks to common knots and ties. We think you’ll find them useful, or at the very least, amusing. They measure 5.5” x 3.5”.

Tanner Goods pencils are old fashioned #2s, hand stamped (by us) with our fine logo and sold in bundles of 12. You will need to supply your own sharpener. Stock up, head out, and remember the words of DaVinci, or at least the advice of our dad: “Write it down, son. Write it down.”

Both the pencils and notebooks are available at our Tanner Goods flagship store and The Woodlands, as well as online at tannergoods.com. As with all things good, this run won’t last forever, so don’t spend too much time pondering.

What we carry, and what we carry it in, says a lot about who we are, and how we live. Hardcover book or iPad? Notebook and pencil or smartphone? Both? Is your pocket knife a slipjoint? Where do you put your keys? We think about these things far more than we’d like to admit. We’ve always been fans of simplicity paired with thoughtful details, in both what we use and what we make. Our goal with all our products is to elevate the materials and the intended use to a level that transforms simple, timeless fabrications into elegant examples of functional design.

Our tote bag is a perfect example of this intention. We’re happy to reintroduce this classic silhouette in a new, waxed cotton canvas. Clean of line, pure of purpose and rugged in construction, it’s built to do three things: carry your stuff, look good doing it, and last. Constructed of 10.10oz waxed canvas, with English Bridle handles, it features one main compartment, with two exterior patch pockets and one exterior zippered pocket. The bag closes with a sturdy snap closure, and features a co-branded Tanner Goods - 3sixteen patch on the interior. It measures 14"x15"x3", and is available in Navy with Saddle Tan straps , Olive with Black straps , Field Tan with Havana straps, and Black with Black straps. 

Made in the USA

Our good friends at Unionmade have released a fantastic seasonal lookbook featuring quite a few Tanner Goods products all recreated in the illustrated form by Richard Haines of What I Saw Today, a daily blog of the pieces, people and products that catch his eye on the daily in New York city. Mr. Haines currently contributes his artistic talent and an eye for good design to J.Crew and In-Style magazine as well as numerous other commissioned jobs throughout the industry. We're honored to be included in his work.

The past year has seen our small operation grow from Mark and myself to a team of six, and thanks to everyone's support we're continuing to expand into 2011.  We're currently accepting applications for a design-minded craftsperson to join our diverse team.  

Company: Cascadian Fabrications, Inc.
Position: Junior Craftsperson

About us:  Comprised of a handful of design-minded craftspeople, our workshop develops and manufactures heritage-inspired goods with a focus on modern craft.  Our output encompasses both private label production as well as development and manufacture of our own in-house label, Tanner Goods.  We deal in durable goods that are made to last - premium leather accessories, heavy waxed canvas bags, and other various utilitarian goods. 

Job Description:  We're searching to add a team member that has an unparalleled attention to detail, efficient work ethic, and ability to work comfortably under pressure.  Personality counts - especially within an intimate team like ours.  Candidates should have an education in either wood working, metals, ceramics, or textiles; a combination of more than one is a huge plus.  We're looking for someone as comfortable swinging a rawhide mallet as they are behind a sewing machine, and with a steady hand.

In addition, we're looking for candidates with a proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, as well as compelling sketching and drawing skills.  If you're a jack of all trades with a keen eye for design, we'd love to meet with you.

Compensation:  The position is a fixed-pay position during the first three months, with the opportunity to turn into a salaried position with benefits after the trial period ends.

Applicants can email a resume and .pdf portfolio /or online portfolio link to: sam@tannergoods.com

Please note - we're a demanding operation, so if commitment to this field is more of a hobby, this position probably isn't for you.  We're looking for someone who can grow with our company, and is in it for the long haul.  Think you fit the mold?  Send your material through, we'll be accepting applications through March 15th.
