DavidL Report post Posted October 25, 2014 I was looking at a hermes making of video and the craftsman says there are 5 pieces of leather in the handle. From the video it looked like 2 outer layer pieces, two softer material (chrome tan) and a rubber insert. It made me think what they added in-between the lining What materials would you add or remove and why (price, availability, leather characteristics) In bag padding to stiffen or add shape: leather that was split off thin veg tan stiffer chrome tan kangaroo chrome Bags to add soft padding like the straps on backpacks. Foam padding Spongy tumbled like leather wool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
