TheAllWatch Report post Posted October 10, 2015 Hello, I'm a jeweler working on a project making watches, and I am just beginning production on the bands themselves. I would like to work with hen leather, also known as chicken feet, which is a luxury leather in many middle eastern countries but relatively unused here in the United States. I would like to find a leatherworker who would be willing to tan chicken feet (I will attach photos of example work), which would be a similar process to tanning ostrich legs - but much smaller, of course! Vegetable tanning is a must. Any information, thoughts, or ideas would be greatly appreciated. My website is theallwatch.com if you would like to take a look at my designs. Thank you!

Ferg Report post Posted October 11, 2015 Since you haven't had much luck with answers...... My first thought is, "Why chicken leather" when there are a number of other more popular leathers with interesting textures more readily available. Another thought, using chicken leather may have a stigma connected to it that would turn off some lucrative buyers of your watches.
