Hi Duane, we have ordered Hancock and Moore. But Tilton Ruby is not available, so I was talking to them, and they said something confusing to me. I hope you can help me unravel this.

They said...

Thanks Duane. If you were going for Springdown in the seats, what would you choose as the best match for the back?

Thanks Duane. For the back cushions, on the 1667 EVENING SOFA, 9839 CITY LOVESEAT, and 7100 RODEO RECLINER, a lady I talked to at H&M awhile ago said she would recommend going with "Fiber Plush" on...

Thanks Duane. We have decided on Springdown cushions, and Tilton Ruby leather.

I understand your distinction that Protected really means Painted, and that surface paint can wear off.

Since we...

Thanks Duane, Tilton Ruby is winning right now. Unprotected, looks quite nice, thanks for the suggestion.

So this shows how thorough my research has been... can I ask what you think of your...

Hi Duane, I made a new post for a question about leather cracking, since it seemed independent of this thread, posted here.

Hi Duane, you provided some great advice on about leathers in this thread. In summary for others, great information on the differences between leathers is here. The little known options for...

Thanks Duane. I understand custom stitching is only available on some Hancock and Moore items, as you mention here.

Do you know if the nice looking "Saddle" stitching would be an option on the...

Thanks Duane, that was going to be my next question, if you can provide these. Best handled by phone. I've put in a call to your store and left a message.

Thanks Duane, I've ordered swatches of all four for a close inspection here in the home.

That leaves the cushion choice as the last variable. With leather, I noticed you suggested for many years...

Understood, and you deserve it. You've helped untold numbers of people with this site, and many people no doubt remember your advice fondly every day when they sit or lie down on their favorite sofa...

Thanks Duane. I read all the very useful information at that link carefully. I may not be smart, but I am certainly smarter ;-)

On the colors, I am defering on this to a higher authority - my...

Thanks Duane. After more research I found your comment from this Feb that you now prefer the Springdown. So now I get it - the Springdown innovated and is now better....

Very good, this confirms my thoughts on Rodeo. Thanks much Duane.

For the cushions, I've ruled out the feather and Ultra and other options. We are going with Document Claret leather for the...

Thanks Duane. There is no easy way to run power in this old house to where the recliner will go, so we want a push back, so if Sami I guess that would be...

Thanks so much. This confirms my thoughts about the Ivanhoe. So do you think the Rodeo, even though apparently among the smaller of their recliners, would be ok for someone 6'1" and 175 lbs?

This site has been quite helpful! We are deciding between the Hancock & Moore Rodeo and Ivanhoe recliners:
