Thanks. It seems that I vaguely remember reading about this but it has been quite awhile ago, hasn't it?

Yes, it's been in the works for a while. AR (fellow forumite Ahneida Ride for those who don't know) had a couple of set backs and it's taken a while to get new vendors lined up who can do the work that's needed to get the quality of leather and prep work in place. AR's attitude is that if it isn't the best quality, there's no point in putting anything out for public use.
A number of samples have gone out over the last year or two, some excellent, some not so excellent. But it looks like he has the right combo now. Keep your eyes open. :)


More to come...(as AR keeps me in the loop ;) )

Yeah right, and the "check is in the mail". We've been getting teasers for what, 2 years now? I'll believe it when I see it, and it would be nice if that's before '09. This is like getting flirted with by the best looking babe in HS.

Birddog ...

I don't blame ya one bit. not one bit.
I've been jumping Thur hoops and am quite frustrated too.
Please understand that I am the low man on the Totem Pole,
and have little leverage. I am not purchasing or processing 100's
of hides.


The leather industry in the USA is not what it was. Most of it has gone
overseas. Locating the right leather and the people with the correct
talent and machines is conceptually trivial, but in practice is not.

I could source it out to China/Taiwan/etc. but I'd rather have it
make here in the good old USA.

The most recent Prototype, incorporates all previous knowledge and
suggestions. It's in a navy blue. If this proves viable. I can go live.

Thanks for your patience ....

How is this ? I have about 10 prototypes, most of which are
spoken for. PM me your snail mail and I'll do my best to get a
prototype to you.

My best and sorry for the strip (no pun intended) tease. ;)

Oh yea ,,,, She is very cute !!! :D :beer:

NAVY BLUE ?!?!?!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Finally, the color I have been waiting for.

AR navy blue bar wrap just might be on my Chanukah list to the missus.
