In the words of Monty Python, "and now for something completely different."


Lapo, these are for you. One of our clients has a few matt green cars, including a Ferrari and a Jeep painted in matt camouflage. While in Bologna at a leather show, we saw English tanned hides with a camouflage print on them. Being slightly unusual, we asked if these were used for leather bags. The response was a dead pan stare back, and "no, for military sniper gloves."


The leather is not as soft nor supple as the cape skin we use from the same tannery, but we know they can take a beating. Lined with rabbit and hand stitched, no army glove was ever this luxurious.
