    Selection of one (similar) leather color for jacket and shoes/boots.

    I had the other comment once, as in "you did not match your jacket to your shoes?!" So who knows? lol I like to have some contrst of some sort, red and black, navy and burgundy, etc. And if going for the same colour, then play with the shades maybe, or the textures

    Simmons Bilt offering Shinki - and many other leathers

    I remember Shinki offered Shinki for a while, after that not sure what happened. If they called this Japanese HH, then it is probably not Shinki. Does it matter? Shinki is the most famous tannery, it is a brand name, that's it. There are many tanneries in Japan producing great leather. Langlitz...

    Regular CXL HH Vs CXL FQHH

    Good question, I would need to ask him and see what he says. When I asked if it was possible to use badalassi hides for his 70s styles, he did say they were too stiff. The calfskin he uses has the best balance of firmness and drape for these. But he did use the badalassi that was supplied by...
