I don’t think that is Shawn but I have no idea. That hide is russet steer! I’m quite sure it’ll be less cordovan/purple irl but I am hoping that it keeps some semblance of this purple, it’s perfect for this jacket.Is that Shawn who models the jacket? Lol
.Did he produce the hide or is it sourced ?
Is there such a thing? LOL. I honestly have no clue but hopefully will k ow sooner than later!My sample of russet steer is pictured in my last pic so I don't understand how it looks purple .Maybe that is red russet steer ?
Does that include the leather?!I am working on a modified version of the "CIVILIAN VINTAGE 1930'S CLASSIC MEN REAL LEATHER JACKET" on the Five Star Leather website with Shawn. It will be in buffalo leather. He said it will be around 350$. Has his price been about the same for others with modified models?
Thin. 0.8-1mm. Unfortunately it’s REALLY light.Man, watching this thread progress, you guys are killing it!
How's the HH looking?
I’ve video conferenced with Shawn a couple times.... pretty sure that’s him.I don’t think that is Shawn but I have no idea. That hide is russet steer! I’m quite sure it’ll be less cordovan/purple irl but I am hoping that it keeps some semblance of this purple, it’s perfect for this jacket.
Count me in. I’ll have him spin this up:Shawn said he can produce aniline steerhide on demand if the quantity is big enough.
Who of you would have a fundamental interest in aniline steerhide?
Maybe we can get the amount we need
