I am starting this thread for all the upcoming updates and progress on the Goldsmith project. I am really looking forward to this project. It has been a great pleasure discussing all the aspects of this historic jacket with you all.
At the present time all of the parts are at the shop and we are awaiting our new batch of Horsehide from the tanners. Once it arrives, we will be making our prototype and then moving on to our pre-order jackets once all the details are nailed down.
The Horsehide we are working on will be a light russet, 1.2-1.3 mm thick with some nice grain to it. The great thing about having this tanned especially for us is that we will be able to control the color, grain, and finish. The shades of brown are limitless and we can tweak the characteristics until we are happy with the hide.
Our first run of hide should be done in 2 weeks. Stay tuned for updates...
Regards,
Jay
