Luxury EDC Pocket Hank "The Green Salt & Pepper" 5.00"x5.00" Donegal Tweed

EDC Pocket Hank "The Green Salt & Pepper" 5.00"x5.00" Donegal Tweed 

From our Vintage Deadstock Collection, The Green Salt & Pepper is made featuring a Primary Top Piece of highly coveted British Tweed from Donegal Ireland that is Leftover Deadstock for a European Designer House. 

Most Hanks in EDC use a Cotton Synthetic Poly Blended Fabric for the Top Piece (Show Piece) that have "Printed" patterns and clipart on one side. The Green Salt & Pepper's Top Piece is made using 100% Sourced Wool Tweed from Ireland and are 100% Natural. Donegal is most recognized by a flecked appearance of little colors different from the primary color of the whole piece of fabric. This is achieve by first dying the Fibers in various batch colors in two sizes. The primary color (Green in this case) is made from long fibers and the little specks of different colors are made from shorter and thicker fibers. Both Fibers are all spun together to create a stand of yarn, causing the shorter fibers of various colors to petrude from the strand of long yarn at different intervals. Then these Yarns are woven in a plain pattern. Each Piece is around 12oz. Tweed is thicker and slightly heavier than most other Top Pieces used EDC Hanks.

The Green Salt & Pepper's backing is made with our Top-Shelf Premium USA Made Microsuede with our Custom Printed Brand Name Pattern. Our Microsuede is soft, durable and thick compared to the more commonly used Microfiber. Read more about Microsuede below.

The Green Salt & Pepper is double stitched with USA Manufactured thick and durable Sized 69 Tex-70 Bonded Nylon Thread by Maine Thread Company. 

The Green Salt & Pepper also includes a 3/8ths (roughly 10mm) USA Made Copper Grommet and Washer as well as a 3mm thick Premium USA Leather Squared Lace.

**** Exact Patterns will Vary as each piece is cut from a large roll of this material.

About Microsuede:

Microsuede is heavier and thicker than the more commonly used microfiber. It's called Microsuede as it's made to look and feel like Suede. Unlike actual Suede, Microsuede won't stick to metal, allowing easy cleaning action. Also, unlike Microfiber, Microsuede doesn't stick to skin or other fabrics.

During our extensive testing we noted that Microsuede was as effective on Glass and Hard Plastic Surfaces as Microfiber. However, we also noted that Microsuede was more effective on Metal and Wood Surfaces than Microfiber which given one of the primary purposes of an EDC Hank is to clean and maintain pocket knives, Microfiber was the best choice to use as our Backing.
