Alligator Jakes Preserves and Protects

Thanks to the hard work of the Alligator Jakes family and a score of alligator trappers, anyone can enjoy extraordinary products made from the most desirable, long-wearing, luxurious leather in the world.

Alligator Jake's (Ostrich-Alligator Market) is helping to preserve an American way of life that has existed for more than a century. And even the alligator is benefiting, as Alligator Jake's works in cooperation with scientist and government officials to protect and conserve these creatures as a renewable resource. Fees paid by Ostrich-Alligator Market, trappers and farmers fund the state-regulated alligator conservation program, and the success of the program provides an incentive for landowners to preserve the creature's natural habitat, which benefits other wildlife as well. Thanks to the joint effort of these groups, the American alligator, once on the threatened list, has made a strong comeback and is now more abundant than when Alligator Jake landed his first gator.

Florida and Alligators
Florida was once a swampy wilderness of pines, palmettos, and moss-draped cypress. To these wilds came the first settlers, willing to risk their lives for a piece of ground they could call their own. Like the native Indians before them, the homesteaders made their living off the land they loved by fishing, hunting, and trapping. One of the critters they trapped was a scaly reptile that inhabited the swamps, creeks, and watering holes of the semi tropical jungle: the American alligator.

It took a real man to wrangle the indisputable king of the wilderness, a wily creature as big as a man himself-even twice as big. Like the fur traders of the Rockies and the cowboys of the Old West, these alligator trappers were legendary figures: courageous, resourceful, and durable as gator hide.
