American Alligator Shopping Guide

There’s American Alligator, and then there’s everything else.

“To me, American Alligator is the benchmark by which all luxury handmade products are measured. American Alligator in the hands of a skilled craftsman results in truly unique products with timeless beauty and intrinsic value” says Colonel.

No two American Alligator products are alike—just like human fingerprints, alligator scales are completely unique and one-of-a-kind. We don’t shy away from natural markings that are common to alligators raised in the wild. “The way I see it,” says Colonel, “every marking tells a story, and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.”

What do we mean by “one-of-a-kind”?
Every American alligator product Colonel creates is truly one-of-a-kind. He personally selects the hides for specific products and determines how each hide is to be cut and matched to achieve optimum beauty. Every detail is methodically thought out, from the natural markings of the hide to the final handcrafted design, making each item as individual as the alligator it came from. The product you see in the image on our website is the exact one you will receive, guaranteeing authenticity and exclusivity.

For the Sophisticated Traveler

There was a time when travel was an occasion—when passengers boarded planes and yachts with luggage as refined as their destinations. Our Travel & Luggage line is crafted to rekindle that sense of refined adventure. And for the ultimate statement of sophistication, nothing surpasses American Alligator.

Crafting with American Alligator is an art that requires a skilled craftsman and an expert eye. Each hide is hand-selected for its quality and each product is hand-matched to perfection. A statement piece like our No. 3 Grip Bag (pictured below), requires 2–3 hides to complete the construction of the bag. The design is intentional—larger, more dramatic scales on the front panel, contrasted by the refined, smaller scales on the straps.
