The canyon is very thin but a little stiffer goatskin that will eventually break in and become softer as it’s handled. The navy lambskin liner was also quite thin. The customer wanted a firmer cover for his NLT so I added a split cowhide between the cover and liner that added rigidity and a much-improved feel overall. It is firm on the outside, and a little spongier on the inside, a truly distinctive feel that is sure to become so much richer over time. The customer did not want much of a yapp, and the firmer cover won’t bend over the text block. The hand-stitched edge blends into the canyon’s color nicely.
