US saddle manufacturers?

[jmoore]

Are there any saddle manufacturers in the US? I know Koobi is based in the US but their manufacturing is done by Selle Italia in Italy.

Selle Anatomica maybe?

I can't find anyone else. I'm toying with the idea of bringing a saddle to the retail market

You may want to try Joshua Cohen at Kontact saddles. He used to post on here as "Kontact" I believe.

I'm pretty sure he is in the U.S., but not sure where the saddles were manufactured.

The rather spendy Dash saddles in Colorado

Yup, Selle Anatomica made right here in the USA, Wisconsin I believe.

Rivet Saddles in California?

Rivet Saddles in California?

Nope, they ship Wisconsin leather over to Taiwan to be made. :mad:

Selle An-Atomica is the best bet. I love mine.

Cobb?

Cobb saddles are marked Made in China.

Kontact is one I forgot. He did what I'm thinking, bringing back that model he sells. I think I need to talk to him.


All those leather saddles like Selle Anatomica and Rivet are not what I'm looking for.


And those Dash saddles = wow! $$$

Kontact is made by Velo.

Kontact is made by Velo.

Yes. They tried to find someone to make their saddles in the US, but couldn't find anyone that had the know-how.

Elkhorn WI to be exact.

Interesting. This is what I'm running into as well.

I know I can find individual companies to make the components but I would like to have someone who could do the full monty if possible.

At any rate, I emailed Kontact. Hopefully he replies.

Andrew replied and we talked last night. Nice guy. We will certainly talk some more.

Moving foward!
