Ashland Leather Tall Fat Herbie

One-Off Horween Aspen Horsebutt (with shell intact) in Black

Uno Mas! One month to go! This beauty is so glossy now. Zero product applied to the leather by either Ashland Leather or myself. The only care that's been given is a quick brush to get specks of lint/dust out of the wrinkles before taking pictures for the next monthly upload 😅

More about this item

This is a one-off leather in which a horsebutt hide (with shell intact) was processed with Horween's new Aspen tannage, which involves a tumbling step that gives typical Aspen horsehide its light pebbled effect. This tumbling step caused the shell within the horsebutt to noticeably wrinkle. At this time, I believe this one-off leather was unintentional or experimental. Leather color is black with machined black thread.
