Meet Vince & Susan
Vince still produces every product by hand in small batches; together they still label, pack, and ship daily. If you call, you’ll get Vince or Susan — not a ticket queue.
Leather Cream

Laramie · late 1980s
Laramie to Port Townsend
Skidmore’s is a small family business that started in Laramie, Wyoming in the late 1980s. Vince spent his teen years in the family antique shop — stripping, repairing, and refinishing wood — and created a simple, non-toxic wood finish from that work. In 2011 they moved the workshop to Port Townsend, Washington.
