Hank Delgado

Hank isn't really a maker in the traditional sense — he's a restorer, and a fierce one. For over twenty years he's tracked down and brought back to life old horse saddles, hand-tooled chaps, cast-iron kitchen tools, and Native-made trade blankets from ranch estate sales and dusty barns across the Gila region, cleaning, reconditioning, and re-stitching each piece by hand. He treats every item as a small act of preservation rather than a project, and always researches an item's origin as best he can before it ever goes up for sale.
