I seen a leather in a video from awhile back that was red on the flesh side, and black on the finish side. Beautiful pull up, but I seriously can't find anything on it now, and it was so beautiful.
We still have some of this leather. You can make a two-toned leather on any tannage but the one were were doing was on the Latigo tannage. It was drum dyed red latigo and had a heavy black finish on the grain. Horween calls this two-toned look Visage Latigo. But, there is also Sandwich latigo. The sandwich latigo is fully drum dyed for color. You fully penetrate the leather in red dye then put a mild black on the surface. The flesh and grain are black but the "core" of the leather is still red
@@AshlandLeather the sandwich sounds like it would make some Beautiful boots you could even do rough out that I'd assume would have some deep red tones showing threw.
I'm somewhat new here can someone explain to me... does Phil work for Horween currently, did he previously? And run Ashland at the same time or what? Either way he's got amazing insight, very knowledgeable, and now that I found Ashland I will never buy a shell cordovan from anyone else. They will work with you to get you exactly what you want, nobody else will do that TO THE EXTENT Ashland will... hell I've had companies that wouldn't even send me a single picture of any of the wallets they had in stock. Just said " you get what you get for two hundred bucks".. But Ashland will go through their inventory of leathers and find the right one or Source the exact marbling and color with undertones to make exactly what you want....incredible!
@@AshlandLeather Thanks for filling me in Phil. Your one- of-a-kind connections to Horween, good attitude, responsiveness, and ability to work with the customer make Ashland the ultimate wallet & leather company in my humble opinion... Well...it actually may be fact not opinion 😂.. Cheers
awesome video, the constant camera movement is a little jarring though, maybe consider putting the camera on a gimbal, you can then put a monopod on the bottom of the gimbal, letting you rest the gimbal on the monopod for stationary shots.....
Nick's grandfather was well known for taking a bite of the leather. He wanted to see his teeth impression. He also claimed that he could taste of it was pickled correctly.
