Not sure if its changeable for them at this point and blue-er and brighter would obviously change the hue not just the brightness. Plus how the leather comes out after being dyed with a particular color doesn't always match either. I don't envy the process.
I doubt anyone would be looking closely enough to distinguish any differences. Looks pretty darn good.
lol. I was up in the air about the color but decided on blue as well. Who knows about later on. The other thing too is the black leather on the jackets that's not perforated was hand painted which is why it looks a bit "flatter." You can tell the paint on the lower flap of marinas jacket was flaking off in the promo photo on the D bridge. Sooo much went into making these at the studio.I would hope since details are still being hammered out we can still dial in the blue. Thats what I ordered, so hoping for as close as possible. Worst case if I can request mine to be lighter and I can always dye/paint on my own
They don't look hand painted to me, where do you see the flaking?
Yes, it should be fine, send a message on etsy from the account that placed the order, and I can make a note. Deadline will be when I get the proper photos taken and we start full production, which is still tbd. Hopefully in the next couple weeks/beginning of June.
Actually we can do more, but our work looks like tailor job, so don't do in bulk.
For me I will keep red, because I think in the end it will be also a bit darker with the black delta pattern perforation.
Hey man.
It should be, yes. I can't imagine it stopping before july, and we have several projects that we have produced for many years.
Yeah, I'm really torn, to be honest. I think getting more pictures as we get closer will help me decide. That's why I was asking about the deadline. My wife's car has leather seats with a dark brownish-red (similar to this) and black, and it looks OK. But, there's something more subtle about the blue in the last picture they posted of the two colors together.
Certainly hope this becomes a “produced for several years” project as I’ve been informed by my physician that I may change sizes dramatically in the next couple years. Not a sure thing but if it happens, I’d probably reorder then.
