Founded in Denver in 1874, H.H. Heiser is widely regarded as one of the finest Western leather makers of all time. Heiser’s products were known for their superior materials, precise construction, and durability, and were favored by ranchers, cowboys, lawmen, and collectors alike. Surviving Heiser woolies—especially examples in vivid colors and smaller sizes—are increasingly scarce.
