👞 We talk about the value of sustainably sourced local meat a lot, but what about the value of animal-by-products?
We explore how the value of hides continues to decrease while the costs of processing have increased, and what can be done to resurrect this dwindling sector.
Talking of farming the unfarmed... why not turn hides from your goats and deer into some wallets for the shop? We can help! @bossytvlady@JeremyClarkson
@TwrchIwrch True …but as long as leather is being championed I am not complaining. Jack @BillyTannery is doing great work in the world of leather and recognition is well deserved 💪
The new Buck Mason x Eddie Bauer collab is one of the coolest things I've seen in a minute. Designs are from Eddie Bauer's archive, faithfully reproduced. Materials and construction are surprisingly sturdy.
@cornishgrill@Merry_Meredith Glad you both enjoyed it today. So much has been done by the leather/fashion industry over the years to distance itself from farming/meat. The opposite is the answer for today’s transparent world.
Heartening to hear a former vegan on this fashion-focused panel remark that the reason they abandoned it was they recognised the role animals have to play in sustainable farming
i dont understand why everyone in the NBA nowadays wants to wear these weird, wacky suits. most of them would do better by just hewing closer to tradition. these two suits look great and the proportions are classic. yet, they still look modern and fresh.
Back to tanning, Sunday skins out of the deliming drench, then scraped the flesh side to remove membrane. Whilst doing this boiling dry farm grown willow bark. Strain off bark tea, cold water into bark, plus skin. Then today into full strength bark tea. Now the magic happens
Just been given this amazing gift found in a family attic. Does anyone know any background about these kinds of kid gloves? Is there any significance to the bird? @michaelredwood@LCCNorthampton
Delighted that my son’s new wellies are vegan @marksandspencer!
‘Produced using non-leather materials free from animal derivatives’ 🐂
By which you mean fossil-fuel based hydrocarbon derivatives: so sustainable! 🛢️
(Love the need for the vegan tag encouraging me to ♻️ it!)
WILD DEER NUBUCK 🦌 We’ve been playing around with deer nubuck and it’s time for the first launch. Once destined for the incinerator these wild Fallow deerskins are now going to become footwear, scars and all. Sourced, tanned and made in England.
