Finn sent me one more pic.  DARK BROWN HARNESS.  It is discontinued, but we thought a good idea to include it….

ok, so a member pm´d me about the viberg leather samples i still have in my posession and i thought i should also share the answer in here so everyone can have a look...

Finn, can you rate the brown viberg leathers for me in toughness.  I wanted to go with the brown harness in a service boot, but if they don't have it anymore, I am somewhat at a lost on what to go with.  I thought the brown waxed flesh looked good.
What is your opinion?
What is the thickest and stiffest?

1 brown calf
2 light brown calf
3 brown newbuck cowhide
4 cinnamon cow
5 vintage tan
6 brown cowhide
7 ice mocha

numbers above would be also the correct numbers for the "toughness rating"…starting with 1=light and ending with 7=though!

the thickest and stiffest leather (of the brown ones) would be the brown wax flesh though!
the following pics should show a comparison of the brown wax flesh (top) and the ice mocha (bottom). hope you can tell the differences in color and grain...even though both of them are almost the same in thickness, the brown wax flesh is a lot stiffer/thougher IMO and with way more character!

How dark is the brown cowhide? Looks really really dark from the photos. Can I have a pic with the brown cowhide and cxl in comparison, Finn?
