dadam38 Report post Posted October 18, 2022 Hi guys, i am making a duffle bag and decided to go with a chromexcel as ive never used it before and wanted to try it. The side i bought was the last one available at Maverick leather. I am short a bit on my design and am unable to find the color anywhere else, so i was thinking of using a different leather for the pockets and straps. Long story short, any recommendations on a type of leather that pairs well with Chromexcel? I have attached a picture of the color i bought (timber) Thank you Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted October 18, 2022 I would just use 1.5mm (approx) veg tan. I'd dye it a contrasting colour, such as a light tan or black, or even a colour such as blue, red or green Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gezzer Report post Posted October 18, 2022 I am showing how green I am but what is chromexcel ? Chrome tanned ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted October 18, 2022 Chromexcel is a trade name for a leather that has been both chrome and veg tanned. Veg tanned to give the leather bulk and stiffness and chrome tan to make it supple Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
