Hello Jcut and all,
I know Abbey, but since you left Europe It's more difficult for us to buy in England, shipping cost are more expensive than those to bring from USA.
Moreover the exchange between our currencies is to our disadvantage.
But, it's not the problem. you will say that I am complicatedn The Russet is too soft, and it's the same for wickett and Craig which is drummed (trumbled?) leather. I already tried it.
I'm very satisfied with Hermann Oak when I receive quality sides. But it's the problem.
In any case, thank you very much for all your help and your ideas.
Mich'
