There is no contradiction. Clay has such properties.You can mold it to any shape - but it won't go out of shape. Hello??
Those two statements are mutually exclusive:eusa_doh::eusa_doh::eusa_doh:

Hi Hyptul
I studied Ceramics many years ago at Art College, so I am fully up to speed with the properties of clay.
Up to press, I haven't worn any jackets made of it.
If it wasn't obvious to you, I was refering to those two statements in relation to Horse Hide[huh]
Hi Cuthbert
There is no "holy war" against BK. Certainly not from me. I have seen some very nice jackets made by them.
My issue is simply the odd claims made for this "new" hide, which they seem to believe gives them the edge over all other makers.
He says "You can mold it to any shape - but it won't go out of shape."
That makes no sense. To question such a statement is perfectly rational, and in no way can be construed as a "war".
My perspective it to question the long term sturdiness of what is claimed to be a hide that acts differently to previous ones we have seen.
And as it is a new product, untested on A2s, we have no way of knowing that it will keep the required shape over a long period, if it will so readily change shape when it is new.
None of the offers, kind as they are, to send out samples, can possibly address that long term unanswered question.
He says "You can mold it to any shape - but it won't go out of shape."
Maybe the Italian horses eat pasta! Or listen to Bocelli!
You continue with the assumptions.
This leather is made by a very experienced tannery with 100 years on its back on making leathers for garments.
It's a top quality stuff, one of the most expensive money can buy. It has been used on jackets by others in the industry before.
Luxury jackets, expensive jackets, high quality jackets.
Yes you can mold the collar, but it won't go out of shape because it's neither soft nor floppy. It's no non sense at all.
But forget that statement, it's not important.
What's important is that I offered to send you sample to see for yourself but you chickened.
I rest my case.
hello people i am getting a bill kelso a-2 jacket some time this month, andy told me my jacket is not made of the horsehide we are talking about here.
yeh I know but I ve just ordered an A1 from him
