BK Victory Horse™ Hide

[marco77]

Hi guys !!!!

Just came from holidays and see on BK website , this new leather call "Victory Horse™ Hide
".
I was wondering what is the difference between leather used before by BK and this new one .
Darker for seal brown ?
Very curious to see a RW 27752 made in this new hide ...
If someone ...

It does look very nice indeed. Platon's the man to post samples of the new hide.

BK say they will make an official announcement about the Victory horse soon, after which I will be able to provide more info, details, photos, and what have you.

Is it the leather we see on VLJ for the BK Dubow thread ?

A good horsehide will age like this, in a matter of a week's wear

Nope. It's much better than that.

Yep, looks really good and as an added bonus it's actually horsehide, not the goatskin substitute (goatgate default) the other tannery tried to palm you off with
Looking through the BK site, it seems photos of the goat skin A2s that had distinctive ridging between the hair follicle pores, have been changed too.

Not really, both are high quality leathers with character.

Reminds me of the some of the leather jackets I've come across over the years.

I personally selected these hides during my trip to Toscana, Italy.

Hopefully Platon can provide I am sure although I did post a thread on a A2 with the Dark Seal Victory Horse as the leather. It was a "Aero" not a RW but have a look if you havent seen it.
It might be of some help

No sorry, I don't have images of the RW 27752 in dark seal Victory.

But I do have images of the seal brown Victory.
Even better, I have comparison of Victory with original.
In the below photos, on the left side, you see the left half of an original RW 27752 and on the right you see the right half of BK Victory seal brown. Shot in different light conditions, with/without flash. I will try to provide daylight photos later.

Ribbed, for your pleasure.

So what do you think?

 

[Dr H]

A very imaginative way of displaying it, well done!
