    In December Giles, Alex and I went to see the tannery where the leather for the Big Bucks is produced. Very impressive to see how they work.

            Thanks for sharing, @Chap! I didn’t think my desire for one of these beauties had room to grow, but here we are….

                This is awesome!! Great to see @Alex rocking his Big Buck Black.

                I’m curious, @Giles what other garments or products are made from these hides?

                I will have one of these soon by golly!!!

                    In Berlin, Meindl did a popup at the hotel for my wife’s client. Their deer and other leathers as well as their fabrics, fittings, and things like hamster fur insulation were really nice and made me think of the lederhosen I’ve seen discussed here.

                    Think it, be it.

                        @Mizmazzle there's a leatherworker in Freiburg, Mathias Steinhauser, who makes backpacks out of the deerskin. I want one.

                            @Giles they were €1500 last year, so about the same as one of those Racing Atelier bags you were eyeing up the other day. 😁
