Giveaway: Orox American Made Leather Satchel, Perfect for Work or the Weekend

With a history of leather working in his family, José Martinez, along with his sons Kevin, Levi, and Martin opened Orox Leather Company in Portland Oregon’s Old Town District in 2012 to offer his hand-crafted leather goods, from bags, to sandals, to wallets and satchels (like the one we’re giving away here) to the people of the Pacific Northwest.

Martinez cut his teeth in the leather working world at the feet of his father Don Pepe and his grandfather, Felipe Martinez, whose first huaraches sandals were made for his local Oaxacan baseball team, Casa Audelo, in 1933 in Mexico. Since that time, successive generations of the Martinez clan have followed in their fathers’ footsteps. Today, Orox Leather Company makes its goods from only the highest-quality, US-sourced leather, denim, and canvas, along with long-lasting and unique sand-casted copper hardware, made by Clendinen Brothers in Baltimore, Maryland.

Jason McCarthy explores GORUCK’s unplanned beauty and inspiration
GORUCK 25L Ruckers SRT 259 bag on Rucking community member

GORUCK was founded by two militant masterminds, one with time in the American Special Forces and the other from the CIA. More specifically, Jason and Emily McCarthy, who both had a hand in bringing the brand's signature traits to life. The initial goal was to create a rucksack that could hold up to military-grade standards. From there, without compromising on a single element, the brand grew into the powerhouse it is today, offering outdoor and travel gear, footwear, apparel, and more. It's an integral part of the rucking movement, a low-impact exercise with military roots in which you walk with a weighted rucksack. If you want some gear that will go the distance, that's rough, tough, and ready to rock, is the place to shop.

We chatted with Jason McCarthy about that formative journey and what's in store for the future. Grab yourself a snack, maybe a drink, and let's get into it.
