Just got a sample of the Battered Tan and the Tumbled Cordovan this morning. They both seem just as thick as any other CXL. I'm starting to think that the Kelpie horsehide might be the answer to a brown midweight CXL HH. When you get your Kelpie samples, please post some pics and let me know...
Thanks for the heads up on the Kelpie. I'm definitely interested. Not much info about it on their website. The only example I see is a 50's Half Belt on their Stock page. Not nearly enough to get a sense of the hide.
I'm also looking at Tumbled Cordovan as another possibility- although it's not...
Thanks for the info.
I'd love to have the natural CXL, but according to Carrie, the last batches have all been very thick and heavy. And the battered tan is listed under Aero's mid-weight hide category, so I'm assuming it's a bit more pliable.
Maybe I should make a request "less batter, more tan..."
I have some questions about the Aero’s Battered Tan horsehide for anyone who has experience with it. I’m in the process of selecting a horsehide for my next Aero Sheene- something in brown this time. (Yes, this will be the fifth Sheene that I’ve owned over the years, if I’m being honest…but...
I was just going to PM you. I have a Schott Rancher in size 42, chocolate brown, that I never wear.
But then I just tried it on again...these Ranchers look so dang good. The suede on them is wonderfully thick. Nothing comes close to the cut, the drape, and the way they fit. Such a classic look.
Those earlier horsehide label Taubers are getting really hard to find, especially at this price. Likewise, if it was just a few sizes bigger, I might have even picked it up for myself.
This vintage Bates flat tracker was at only $27 on ebay with 2 hours to go, last I checked. Looks like a rare earlier Bates with a sweet vintage vibe to the cowhide.
But hurry because the auction is going to be ending soon...
