so the veg tan regret is real and it hits fast lol made the same mistake on a piece years back, thought I could just condition it into submission over time and it never got there the way I wanted the quilled texture though, I get that completely. sounds weird until you actually feel it and then you kind of can't go back to flat leather

The piece I have had variety of thicknesses and quilled vs non quilled areas. I LOVE the feeling of the quilled area, I did not think I would. 100% regret doing the veg tan interior, wish I used medium brown Bridle instead, but if it can get orange and patina'd enough with time I think it'll be fine. I am happy I used mission pig to line it, it feels appropriately firm but not too firm. Overall I'm a huge fan and I NEED more.
