Shawn sent me pictures of the CXL today. Is that yours? I'm thinking what to have done in that leather but I'll wait to see your projects

No, not mine yet. Shawn also sent me the pictures. he is ready from now on. I just have to think about what I want. because the perfecto 683 doesn't work because the piping.

Yeah, he's told me piping would be a problem with this leather, I was thinking of a trucker but I'll take my time gathering some info and waiting for the goat in the meantime.

2.1mm?!!! WHAT the....?!??!

I thought the same

I thought the same

I like that dark brown. I think something very basic but tailored very well in that could be cool. I sent Shawn an email...wheels are turning.

that's my Horween latigo and cxl brown, what is going on here @MrProper

Those are Almost the same pictures I got. Something's fishy?

Have you considered a "Bootlegger" from Shawn, Tony? This leather might be it.

I have...but I think I want to keep it really simple, at least the first go round. I want to see how he handles stitching this stuff together.

Do we have to be fast with our projects to get these hides ? Damm my wallet is going to hate me

Are those actually your images Hh?

 

[PilotJens]

Shawn has also updated his website

 

[ton312]

No, he took the pictures on my leather.

Well that's no good...no good at all. Anybody have pics of the actual 5 star CXL?

 

[handymike]

Isn’t the 5* cxl based on your hides @Hh121 ?
I mean, those were the pieces of leather Shawn re-created, right?
If so, the tannery did a good job.

 

[Hh121]

ok, I talked to him and he said that is not my leather. I choose to trust him and if that is the case he successfully created similar horween leather I sent to him and I congrats to him.
Even though the weight, the color, the grain, are exactly the same as the leather I send to him..... (The brown cxl even has a white pen mark which is use for making jacket).

I would have assumed that these are the hides from 5*. isn't it?
