Lovely Samson!

I've got a small non-project to report. When attempting to recover a vintage Flite saddle, the leather needs to be pretty bloody thin. Or maybe I'm just crap at smoothing out overlapping creases. D'oh! Upshot is, the Concor's gone back on the Ron Cooper and I think I prefer it (aesthetics and comfort) anyway.

Yup, thin is best. less than 1mm. I usually get off-cuts from old leather jackets or similar. Makes stretching over the edges and smoothing the creases easier. I've found anything furniture grade is too stiff.
