... Regardless, I think it's useless to compare one company's shinki to another's. I received a couple of swatches from different badges of FL's brown pigment dyed shinki. They differ in terms of temper, color and sheen. Even the flesh sides look different.
Thank you for these informations. Useless..? Yes, because in fact, leather can turn out very differently from one patch to another. Even RMCs and FWs "custom orders" are different. It's like wine, there are sometimes big differences from vintage to vintage. No, because for me, (but that is subjective) I stick to the "custom" made shinki hh leather from FW and have never owned anything comparable for my liking. Of course it's everyone's own taste and not to mention the finish ... that's a different story.
