The story & the craft.
Hides in Hand traces its roots to Marzo Glove and the Halton Hills leather industry, taking its current name in 1996. Gloves and mitts remain a connection to that workwear history, while slippers and moccasins provide a separate footwear route. The official account describes learning moccasin making from a retiring Northern Ontario company and later working with Indigenous artists.
Choose between the families by the exact leather, lining and fit information, rather than assuming one construction applies throughout the shop. Deer, moose and buffalo leather appear in the business's account, and natural hide colour and texture can vary. Its story describes hand production on the premises, but that does not establish every liner or trim's origin. Contact the business through its published route; the Erin retail location and Rockwood head office serve different purposes.
What they make & offer.
Gloves & mitts
Leather handwear is the workshop’s historic core, alongside its newer footwear and bags.
Ask about sizing and the particular model’s lining and care rather than assuming one glove specification fits the collection.
Explore the collectionBefore you buy or go.
Leather colour and texture vary from hide to hide. Confirm sizing, lining, care and the exact item’s leather before buying. The Rockwood head office does not make retail sales; check the Erin shop before travelling.
The Canadian connection.
An Ontario leather craft business whose story describes hand production on its premises. Canadian leather and manufacture statements are maker claims, not proof that every trim or liner is Canadian.

Stanfield’s
Start with the garment label, then choose the layer.
Stanfield’s offers everyday underwear and wool layers from a long-running Truro manufacturing business. The two selected listings explicitly carry Made in Canada labels; that evidence does not cover every item in its catalogue.
