About The Crates Leather Company
The Crates Leather Company dates back to the
mid-1930's when Robert H. Crates bought a harness, horse collar, and saddle shop
In Chattanooga, TN. Initially he operated the business with a partner, but in
the early 1950's Robert assumed full ownership of the company. Also in the
1950's sons Daniel and Robert C. joined the business, building at one time what
was considered the largest company in the industry, producing in excess of one
thousand saddles per week.
After the company was sold in 1980, Robert H, Daniel, and key employees of the
former company established Crates Leather Company in 1981 in Chattanooga, TN,
making it their mission to produce a limited number of high quality, up-scale
western saddles.
Currently, Crates saddles are still hand-made, one at a time, in a forty
thousand square foot plant in Chattanooga, TN. They concentrate on saddles and
tack for team roping, steer wrestling, team penning, reining, working cowhorse,
calf roping, and barrel racing but also offer many models in endurance,
trail and pleasure riding. Ownership and management remains with the Crates
family.
