HISTORY
Based in Berlin, Wisconsin, Mid-Western Sport Togs became a prominent manufacturer of high-quality, durable leather garments, most notably for their fringed deerskin western-style jackets during the 1950s and 1960s. They specialized in hunting gear, sport coats, and casual wear, utilizing premium, soft deerskin leather, which has a reputation for being the “cashmere of leather.”
Their products have become highly sought after by collectors of mid-century Americana and Western wear.
