Blackrock Leather N Rich was founded in 1976 by the grandparents of the current owner in Pekin, Illinois, originally sold through Christian Brothers Western Store. When no suitable leather care products were available, the grandfather created his own formula for easy-to-use, high-quality, American-made leather care. The product quickly gained a reputation as a reliable alternative to saddle soap, mink oil, and other conditioners. Today, the business continues as a family-run company, still using the original recipe, proudly Made in the USA, and sold both nationally and internationally.
