The Man Behind The Name
Thirty Years ago in the peaceful coastal hinterland of Northern N.S.W., Australia, Paul McCaul started creating apparel out of spent calico flour bags. Actually it all started before then when as a boy he watched, helped and learned from his mother, a local dressmaker. Making for himself anything that he needed didn’t solve a cash flow problem so he began trading at small local craft markets where there were other hand made products.

His thirst for knowledge and practical determination in taking on any job regardless of the difficulty has given him a diversity of experience and skills that make him the versatile craftsman that he is. As time moved on he was fortunate to make connections with some very talented people. European designers, traditional leather crafters & artists.

Paul spent the next fifteen years as a marketeer from Tasmania to Queensland, during which time he completed a Science Degree as well as pursuing other much loved interests family, travelling, inventing and permaculture.
Originally making innovative durable outdoor gear from canvas & oilskins he went all the way and specialised in the genuine leather jacket; which was becoming harder to find when similar looking sheepskin products became mass produced and readily available.

As we approach the next millennium, it is still possible to get "the Real McCaul". Paul and Oosaa McCaul still make quality leather apparel at home on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland in the true cottage craft tradition.

The leather and style built into Paul’s creations makes them much more durable than most other products. Paul is now using Kangaroo Nappa exclusively, as it is by far the best for strength, weight and softness. There is no built in obsolescence with a Paul McCaul product!
