She did not. Overall cost has to be high. Cant imagine they would charge less even if used own leatherI’ll drive down to Horween and pick it up. It’s less than 2 miles door to door. @Psant25 did Kim mention the cost if you supply your own skin?
That would be a deciding factor for me. I’m happy to assist anyone interested in pursuing this avenue. It’s literally a 15 minute ride for me to grab the skin. And my curiosity is more than peaked. A cordo model E with a brown mouton collar...that would put a dagger in the heart of this hobby for me.She did not. Overall cost has to be high.

That’s a very good point. There’s definitely a risk/reward ratio heavily at play. The cost would be the deciding factor for me. But now that the seed of a cordo E has been planted. The sweaty madness can’t be stopped. I’ll be ringing up Kim tomorrow. I wish Nicole was still there. I worked with her primarily and she fully understood.Would be a little nervous going this route. Aero is hand cutting and working this thick leather all day long. I dont think vanson is hand cutting anymore kim said when discussing patterns they make changes on the computers not the old wood patterns they had. I would think matching up grain and variations in thickness panel for panel is a real art. Vanson is using pretty heavily processed uniform leather. Who knows im trying to talk myself out of calling horween tomorrow and emailing kim back changing my mind
Man would love to see that.That’s a very good point. There’s definitely a risk/reward ratio heavily at play. The cost would be the deciding factor for me.

I agree as far as the comp weight goes. The z/x150 and October jackets still look good. I probably would buy/return a new stock E just to be sure the pattern and size is still what I recall first.Today's Vanson is not the Vanson used to be. You will receive vast disappointment if you expect too much from it.
I really wish the TFL Dehen sweater had happened.I am creating a thread for the Horween X Vanson, let's see if we can do a group order

LOL. You might be right but it’s one of the few uncharted waters I have left.@ton312 the universe is telling you something here...let it go, buddy.
Makes sense.LOL. You might be right but it’s one of the few uncharted waters I have left.
