The Soap Story

Long before the Highlands echoed with the ring of steel on anvil and the creak of saddle straps, cedar was called the “Tree of Eternity.” From the ancient temples of Mesopotamia to the ships of the Phoenicians, its wood was prized for both its strength and its sacredness. Kings and craftsmen alike sought it—not only because it endured the years, but because it carried a scent believed to anchor the soul against wandering.

 Leather, too, has always been a companion of survival. In Norse sagas, the gods themselves were said to wear belts and boots of hide hardened by fire and oil, symbols of both protection and unyielding will. Highland warriors, centuries later, carried much the same—boots steeped in tallow and saddle leather softened by lanolin, tools worn smooth from years of use. In their scent lingered the quiet power of earth and toil.

Together, cedar and leather are more than mere materials; they are the breath of resilience. They tell of men who walked forest paths in pursuit of game, of journeymen who stitched tack by candlelight, of travelers who trusted the creak of reins and the scent of oiled saddles to guide them through storm and shadow.

To lather with Cedar & Leather is to step into that lineage—where myth meets memory, and the old workshop becomes a place of legend. It is the scent of heritage: of gods, of kings, of craftsmen, and of every man who has ever sought strength in the natural world and found it waiting, quiet and steadfast, in cedar and hide.
