Hi all,

I am asking through Skoak, but currently until now they did not response me to response confirming if black museum calf could be contain.

But when i ask for the price quote, they did not mentioned that it can't be source.

So I believe, they might have their source way to obtain it.
It might also be prudent to confirm the pricing specs. If memory serves, Skoak ran a seamless GMTO (or stocked them, can't recall) a few years back that was rather more expensive than the pricing we're looking at now. Now that I'd complain if it were the case, but my inner skeptic found that a bit surprising.

Back from a short silence...

However I concern EB's museum calf is somehow thinner than JL's one and creases badly... Any one want to switch to textured leather??

As to colour I'm fine with black museum if it can be sourced (please confirm the tannery as well?) Plum/ pewter museum is more interesting to me. Still open to shell option

I expanded the proposed voting list. Add your own entries if you feel the need, leather, sole, and sole color in particular. I think those who want Norwegian want chained rather than linear, I prefer none, so if it is incorrect, make the correction or perhaps make an entry with linear and chain. I am also guessing we are talking about their hand welted and not their blake construction offerings...
