New Finish Clansman Goat

Following requests from many of our customers, we have re-formulated the finish of our Clansman Goat in order to produce the fully aniline Nigerian Goat typically associated with this type of leather. The result of this change is that the new leather will have an enhanced 2-tone finish rather than the flatter overall colour we used to make. Some alteration in colour will be inevitable although we will do our utmost to keep this to a minimum.

Production of the new look Clansman started about a month ago, and we will continue to replace shades with the new leather as the old stocks diminish. The full range of shades should be in place by the beginning of 2002.
