Also, we are always open to consulting with you and helping you with any later issues or questions you may have about your Ghurka items.     About Ghurka: (from Ghurka website) Founded in Connecticut in 1975 by a luxury belt and brace designer Marley Hodgson, Ghurka has served as a symbol of superior American leather craftsmanship for over thirty years.  The origins of the Ghurka brand can be traced back to a fortuitous discovery at a British auction house in the early 1970s.  Hodgson inspired by his love of history and leather craft, bid on campaign travel gear and leather boots formerly owned by a British Ghurka officer stationed in India at the turn of the 20th century.  He was so impressed by the quality of the nearly century-old leather – durable, yet supples in spite of its age – and by the intricate craftsmanship, that he was compelled to launch a line of comparable leather accessories.  Hodgson tracked down the lost tanning formula for these boots, and for other accouterment carried by the legendary Ghurka regiments, and applied the manufacturing process to his new collection “. With a new dedicated management team, I am sure we will see more of Ghurka, better and more versatile than ever!
