I have Molds to preform leather skins for Pearson & some Troxel 2 -pc pans.
When I go to tandy leather I usualy pay about $25.00 to $30.00 for a skin big enough to do 3 seats. I think they call it No. 5 hide ?? anyway it ends up being about .100 thick.
When done you can dye your seat Black , Honey Ect or just give it a good dose of Mink oil to soften & darken it up.
you can also padd them with sandable open core foam for a custom fit set up or fit it directly to the tray with no padding for the primal type out there.
I have used both Large Chrome headed & Large Copper Headed Rivits like the Brooks come with to attach the covers.
After coninfg out of the mold theh usualy have a few prestressd marks that ad to that been around look ... Kinda like old furniture when all finnish except Brand New.
The inner pan gets jetisoned at this point. Its also used to Mold with so dont get rid of it yet.
Adam has seen the first prototype .... Its only been refined & gotten cooler on the last 4 seats.
LOl yea I know..... Pictures... Show us pictures
With the behive suspension & padding, They are Not the lightest saddles BUT, They are the most comfort my derierre has EVER seen with Atomic , DoubleThrowdown, throw back vintage looks.
I liked the re cycled material approch also. The tandy hides are about 3 to 4 times thicker & you have to dye, stain or oil them.
Just my humble opinion here
