Ingo, Horween in Chicago, Ill., Fox Valley in Utah. Thats what came up on Google when I was curious about it myself. Apparently the number of tanneries in the US is not what it used to be.

According to all the experts of Styleforum.net who love shoes in this stuff the Hoween tannery is the place for the best stuff. All the Martegani shoes use this stuff. It is, however, in limited supply so getting enough from them for a jacket may be difficult. You need so little for shoes.

Tanneries are going through a bad time in the US as well as the UK, so they are tending to keep a low profile outside the trade. I understand that an animal rights organisation has recently attacked a couple of tanneries in the North Western US.
