OIL CAN X DUKE & SONS

BECOMING A CRAFTSMAN ISN'T ALWAYS A PREDESTINED PATH.

After spending much of his professional life in front of a computer screen, Jan Den Hartogh felt something was missing. This missing piece in his working life would be the freedom to work with his hands. So, when Jan established Duke & Sons Leather in 2013, the link between working with not only his hands but also his heart was formed.

Much like us, Jan is a great advocate of heritage goods and brands that stay true to their origins. Hereby, through this meeting of minds and passion, a perfect partnership was forged.  Collaborating with Jan to create some limited-edition and hand-crafted pieces has been a great journey. As a self-taught leather craftsman, he has a keen eye for detail and quality. A fine fit for Oil Can.
