The Importance of American Materials Although many of our materials are available at a lower cost through overseas suppliers, it is important to us to support and buy from American and local suppliers whenever possible. All of our sheepskins come from cold climate Colorado and New Mexico sheep that have a superior, thicker pile and therefore create a warmer, more comfortable and more durable product. The American techniques and standards for tanning also produce a much higher quality of sheepskin and leather, and conform to strict EPA guidelines that help protect the global environment. Buying from Sundance not only supports our family, but local sheep ranchers and tanneries as well. Last but not least, buying US materials tanned locally eliminates the huge amounts of oil required to ship materials from China and other parts of the world and reduces the “carbon footprint” of producing our products.
