We got an early Christmas present yesterday with the delivery of a Rizzi Sam/Setter!! Our new toy is designed to both de-water (to help with drying) & smooth out the #leather, without removing too many wrinkles as natural looking leather is very important to us & our customers.

Merry Christmas from barry knight and the rest of us at TWS - wishing all the best for you and yours! 🎄🎄 #christmaswishes #gladtidings

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

Fantastic trip as ever to see the friendly folks at Thomas Ware & Sons 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?

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 ☃️ #snow #Bristol #southville #tannery #leather

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

We had a great time at the APLF #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

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're listening to the Test Match Special 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... news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cric… … #barmyarmy #cricket
