So rad. If you'll be starting a thread to follow this project, I'll be subscribing.As my handle might suggest , I work with my hands for a living but also have a love for classic men's style. Hence the love for Alden. I also like to work on projects outside of work. I'm currently rebuilding a 70s vintage Honda CB750 as a "Cafe Racer" or at least my vision of what one should be. Given my love for all things Horween, I wanted to use one of their products when upholstering the seat. However, items like Cordovan and CXL are pulling a premium as of late. So, i've decided to go with a natural Horween 'horse strip'. As most of you know this is what is left after the cordovan shells are cut away. It may be a little think and stiff for the application, but i'm up for the challenge!
Here is a shot of the strips. With an 18lb West Highland Terrier thrown in for scale
I figured out of anyone, you guys can appreciate my insanity.
My girlfriend just shook her head when i told her the plan.
I know it is not a pull-up, but i hope arse sweat and indigo will patina the hell out of the leather.

Great Idea...love cafe racers. Please make sure to keep us updated!!
I just got a save 30% off ANY purchase at Brooks Brothers on May 22, good at store or online. Seems you need to be a "corporate member" to use. If I remember correctly, I just got the corporate membership recently by just going on line and applying. Just a heads up.
I need to check the date, as I'd earlier told Uncle the 23rd.
I like those.
speechless, MrDV. As good as it gets.
Usually not.Hmm, interesting. I wonder if shell will be included.
Those look nice!!
