I thought you guys might appreciate this.
I messaged my croc leather supplier today asking about a certain colour leather and he said he only has one skin left in that colour. He said it might be a bit big, and a little expensive though.
He said the croc was 70+ years old and over 5 metres long. He quoted me $10,000 for it. That’s £5,500 or €6,110!
For a second I actually thought about it. Haha.
Let me know what you would make out of this skin. I’d make a suitcase I’d say. It’d be wide enough to cover it easily!
I have a question (just to know if a boxing bag and hammock is possible): When you have a leather of such an old animal. Will the skin be thicker? Will the soft parts around the tiles much softer bigger and less sturdy? I just have the question if one would really want to make stuff out of it. Maybe that old animal has a lot of scars and so on.
