Frequently Asked Questions

Are your products really Made in America?

Yes. Every product is hand cut, assembled, stitched and finished by one of three leather artisans (including founder and creative director, Dana Glaeser) in our studio in Ridgewood, NY. Our leather is sourced from three American tanneries: Horween® (Chicago, IL), Hermann Oak (St. Louis, MO), and Wickett & Craig (Curwensville, PA).

Are you from Alabama?

Yes. Our founder, Dana Glaeser, was born in Nashville, TN but shortly afterwards he and his parents returned to Alabama where they were both from—his mother, from Sheffield and his father from Decatur. Dana was raised in Montgomery and Huntsville, AL and later in Titusville, FL after his father was relocated from Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville to the Kennedy Space Center. His parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc... were all born and raised in small towns in North Alabama. Today, Dana lives in New York City where Slightly Alabama's design studio is located. The rest of his family is still down South.
