About

Scott Horn found leatherwork by inheriting his grandfather's tools. A lifelong creative, he earned a BFA in Theatre Design from the University of Kansas in 2004 and fell in love with visual art along the way. He explored a variety of mediums until inheriting his grandfather Milt Horn’s set of leatherworking tools in 2009.

Totally self-taught, Horn has spent years developing a one-of-a-kind style defined by detailed illustration, rich geometric patterning, and sculptural folding of full-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide. His work has a playful self-awareness; tweaking traditional forms, winking at the medium itself, and reflecting on culture at large.

* The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, that it only changes forms.  This is why handmade work of every kind is magical – it is literally imbued with the energy poured into making it. The focus, will, creativity, and skill of the artisan transform a mundane object into something that bonds with you and makes you feel good when you wear it.  Magic.

** Uni-sexy: There are no men’s and women’s anything at The Unsaddled.  Every single thing I make is for every single body.  A pocket square is not menswear nor is a harness ladie’s lingerie.  All clothing is costume, liberate yourselves and wear whatever you want, and if you wanna look sexy wear leather.
