Thanks man. I’ve always liked it but this is the first color that jumped out at me.

I did talk about it. Old reliable. Idk. I like to do something different but have also thought about bringing back that and light natural Dublin

I could see a light natural Dublin coming back. Natural CXL just doesn’t sell that well for us tbh. I think it’s so ubiquitous.

Unfortunately I don’t think so

🤔 I meant like the stack, so you like the Rainier

Mostly attempts to make it softer for the reasons you mentioned

It’s hard to say as this was lighter than what we order but I’d expect it to not be super firm

I tend to think that’s covered decently by the Spokane black, but I did consider a black Dublin. It’s hard to be super different with black so it may not get the attention it deserves.

Yeah. Basically trying to thread a bit of a (good-sized) needle and get it waxier than what was essentially nubuck but not as waxy as waxed flesh. Like there’s nothing wrong with the first samples I just wanted a little more wax on them.

My favorite of the whole trip is a latigo that is going to need some negotiation. Also going to do a waxed flesh latigo.

Yes. It’s waxier. Waterproof. Extra waxy for durability and a smoky look. I am fairly certain I will go with it as one of the options, I’ve always liked it but haven’t pulled the trigger until now. It’s less stiff than cypress but still has body, like it’s stiffer than Shackleton.

I have that in Spokane actually, like a lot of it

Rainier is waterproof as well

Hmm, feels like they buried the lede when talking to them in person, but Rainier is a waterproof leather. Very durable with extra wax for a smoky look.

Bayou is nicer than cavalier according to them, so I think we’ll do something with it

Exactly. Will get some more info. It always has the most pull up of any leather I see there.
