In 1844 Brigadier Philip Ewans Milton relocated his family's leather company, Ethan & Milton Leathersmiths, to Boston Massachusetts. Upon his death in 1876 his children renamed the company "Brigadier" in his honor, an honor we're proud to be able to continue more than a hundred years later. We're making genuine and reliable leather goods right here in the United States that would make the Milton family proud. Our products are made by hand in Dallas, Texas and Secaucus, New Jersey.
