    Such a great video, Phil. Fantastic descriptions, and the behind-the-scenes footage takes this to another level. Thanks for taking the extra time, and making the extra effort ... we appreciate it.

    I was on the fence about picking one up since I got one recently but I couldn’t pass up on the raw natural shell. Can’t wait for it to come!

    Hi, I'd like to see how dark skin tones change over time, for example: Horween Shell Cordovan Armagnac or Horween Shell Cordovan Marble #8.
    Will light colors be visible on them or will they become a uniform dark color? Could you make a video about patina on dark leathers?

    I have a natural notebook cover and I put... a few layers of mink oil and Renapur leather cream on it to soften it but also attempt to darken it quickly, but it only darkened a shade. It's waterproof too, I think. Will I still be able to age it and patina it and get it darker over time? Or did I maybe overprotect it with these conditioners?

      What leather is your notebook cover? My general guidance is don't put any product on the leather unless it needs it. I also have had very bad experience with waterproofing products and avoid them fully

      @@deepforestfire My suggestion is to do as little as possible and keep the natural look and feel of the leather. If you have a soft horsehair brush you can try brushing it. If it feels dry I would use a light conditioner

      horses are killed and farmed all the time, just like cows and goats are.
      In Canada you can grab horse meat right off the shelf.

    What's the difference between raw natural shell cordovan and natural shell cordovan?

    • @AshlandLeather
      @AshlandLeather  Рік тому +1

      The raw natural is not polished by the tannery. As a result, the luster is much less shiny and the color is a bit lighter. Raw shell has more potential to develop a dramatic patina

    I really love those raw natural fat herbie and the FTE too. Also, quick question, what camera/lens are you using? I'm trying to start selling some leather working I've been doing and really like the quality of the images/video you're producing :)

    What a great video. I've never been a huge fan of Ashland because of the machine stitching, but I just may need to buy a wallet from them.
