@Septic_Pegg Hallo.
We have a small shop at the tannery in Bristol, so just pop in if you're passing. Alternatively, get in touch with the details at https://t.co/8CbixvYAzo and let us know what you're after. Hope that helps!

[Thomas Ware & Sons @TWS_Tannery]

We're listening to the @bbctms build-up ahead of #ENGvSA in the opening #CricketWorldCup game! Our #leather's used for white balls as well as Test & T20 varieties; the process is slightly different, making this an interesting read... https://t.co/o8Emy7U7up …

With the #cricket season upon us, over recent months we've been busy producing cricket #ball #leather. First tanned with aluminium salts to give a pure white leather, it's then dyed red for traditional balls, or fluorescent pink, yellow & orange for other forms of the game.

We had a great time at the @APLFHK #Leather Fair and having just about recovered from the trip, we're busy back in the #tannery following up on plenty of exciting conversations from HK! #trade #internationaltrade #QueensAward #MadeinBritain #APLFHK

[Leather UK @Leather_UK]

Work is wellunderway setting up the UK contingent for the opening of @APLFHK tomorrow...whilst outside the sun shines on a hot and sunny Hong Kong! Wishing all exhibitors and event organisers a productive and successful show.

[Thomas Ware & Sons @TWS_Tannery]

As flakes continue to fall, the TWS team have trekked into the tannery and work is going on as usual. Tanning stops for no (snow)man ☃️

Fantastic trip as ever to see the friendly folks at @TWS_Tannery and their stunning leather! Just look at all the good stuff you can lay your hands on in their onsite “seconds” shop here in Bristol?

New Year, new projects! We’re currently working on an oil tan #leather (similar to chamois) for use in #CivilWar re-enactment. Buff coats were worn for protection & said to stop a sword blow! Coats were up to 5.0mm thick but very soft to enable movement. #history #costume
