I recently bought a big chunk of leather in a sort of silvery taupe shade. While the smooth side is nice, the color takes on a truly gorgeous quality on the suede side. Was the suede/flesh side of leather used in 16th century England, or was the smoother hair side preferred?
We are talking about using it for clothing, of course. I was thinking of a nice doublet for a new hunting gown....... Karen Seamstrix _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
