JL leather swatch not look good because I used iphone and I bad at picture.

Incidentally only the good looking museum calf is the real Ilcea, the other are imitations from different tanneries...

Care to disclose which shoemaker now has the most recent inventory of your museum calf? Some of the old Ilcea Radica leathers from around the time of insolvency do look sub par compare to the old works...

Any pictures of the most current batch of museum calf?

Hello chogall, we have restarted to supply some important shoemakers. Maybe I could write you in PM the names, sometimes our customers don't appreciate if we reveal their sources of supply.

I will post some pictures of current batches of Museum Calf as soon

...then perhaps you shouldn't reveal their names at all to anyone. If a maker decides to end its business with you because their name leaked, you can only blame yourself.
