FiveStar leather samples

[WingAndaPrayer]

I received a swatch of leather samples from FiveStar. I thought I would share a picture of them under natural sunlight. The colors are from top: russet cape skin, black goatskin, “Dubow brown “ goatskin, russet goatskin, russet steer hide, seal goatskin, seal steer hide, veg tanned russet goatskin and veg tanned seal goatskin. The Dubow brown and seal steer are absolutely wonderful it terms of softness, graining, surface texture feel, thickness and color. All the leather samples are nice, but those two really stand out.

No problem. I thought this would be useful for some clarity on the options available from FiveStar.

The veg tanned seal looks a fair bit lighter than the other seam goatskin. I like seal but I've thought in the past the 5* seal was a little too dark, so good to have that lighter veg tanned option. Thanks for posting!

I’ve messaged Shawn asking if he’s send me swatches of the 3 horsehides. If/when I get them, I’ll post pics.
