WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

Possibly, but we understand a lot more about the operation and constraints they run under. Each hide takes a year to turn from a raw skin into the finished product and "painting" the hides is incredibly labour-intensive. Plus they do all sorts of other stuff for local hunters, we saw a pallet load of beavers waiting to be tanned, a guy popped in last night with a fox he had just shot and asked how much it was to skin and tan it, and another hunter turned up with a load of rabbits this morning. The family are easily distracted

The good news is that the natural obviously does need to be "painted", so we believe we will be able to get deliveries of that faster. We will test that theory very soon.....

The lust for the big buck has only increased! And wouldn't you know it, a small restock happened to hit yesterday.

Kolesch tannery is something else.
Can remember calling them to order some samples for Iron Heart UK.
It was such a lovely chat about their process and Mr. Kolesch could even remember the delivery of hides for the first jacket Haraki ordered years earlier.

I am in for a natural hide CPO prototype or even an Untucked version.
Let me know ‍️.

the first jacket Haraki ordered

Funny, they could not remember that last night

I bought those hides and gave H the prototype as a present.....

For real. I was surprised Mr. Kolesch sen. could remember, because it was only hide for one jacket that was send to Scotland. But at this time there have been several attempts to get some more hides for IH. Perhaps he gentle mirrored my narrative ‍️.

"Old" Mr Kolesch had had a beer or two by then.....Well, we all had to be fair......

@Alex @Giles what an awesome coverage! Thank You Guys!

[goosehd]

There are not enough adjectives and superlatives to describe how cool this is!! Thank you @Giles and @Alex

Great to see the pictures and video from the tannery!

(I do some leatherwork when I have the time, and generally the more old school (and time consuming) the tanning process the more I tend to like the leather. J&FJ Baker is a personal favourite for instance)
