Geschichte
Jim and Roger Leahy founded Overland in 1973 in Taos, New Mexico. The company began as a small operation selling sheepskin coats from a single storefront. It gained cultural significance by integrating traditional Western craftsmanship with functional cold-weather apparel. Throughout its history, the brand has maintained a focus on natural fibers and artisanal production methods. Overland remains a family-owned business, contributing to the preservation of heritage leatherwork techniques in the American fashion landscape.
