2 new whips by purewhips

Post by purewhips »

OK I have these 2 new whip I'd share with you. 1 is the regular Indy whip w/out the wrist loop. The other whip is 2 tone. One thing I did with this whip was end it in an 8 strand. That was a little difficult to do being that the strands were right at an 1/8in wide. But this leather was really strong and I didn't break any strands on it. :D Oh both whips are 5ft long. Let me know what you think. I have also done a few update to my http://www.purewhips.com/whips page.

Personally, I don't like the color of the Indy whip. I have one of your natural colored Indy whips and it has ages beautifully. That color just looks...odd to me. It is a nice looking whip and the plaiting is nice, though. I really like the two tone whip. But, again, that brown just isn't for me.

Just so you know, on your "Whips" page, beneath the pictures it says, for example, 8ft. 8 plait, but when you actually add it to your cart, it says 6 ft. 8 plait. I don't know which one it is supposed to be, but it looks like there may be some typos...

It's a pull-down list. There are longer whips underneath.

Hey thanks for all the great comments on the whips. The brown it's cool but I do like the natural whip and watch it age as I have it. The two tone was fun to work with. Being that it is cowhide I took a little longer making it. Wanted to keep that seam straight at the end with those tiny strands.

On my website part, it is to be a pull down menu. I have checked it and is working fine. But I could be missing something. I am doing it from my computer. Is anyone else having this problem with the menu? I have had many orders come in with different types of whips. All went through ok. Cmperkins2 could you pm me or give me a ring. Thanks.

Cheers!
