My local leather supplier had this lovely bright red side (an extra from someone's large custom colour order) that I could not resist taking home.. it's unlike anything I've seen before. I think the base leather is from Wickett & Craig.

It feels like regular latigo, and I was able to cut a swivel knife pattern on my first project (attached photo).

On the invoice, it's listed as "motor latigo". What is that?

I don't know what it is, but I like it. Nice work!

Nice tooling

I have a sample labelled "motor latigo" in black from Wickett. Out of the bridles leather, harness and veg tan leather, the Motor latigo had a shiny-ish solid colour. The other leathers looked dull compared to it. I suppose they employ a different tanning or finishing method?
