My leather suite is starting to wear. I've been a bit slack in the past but I'm putting cream on it now to protect it. Is there anything else I can do besides not use it?

Yes, you could cut it up into small pieces & make clothes out of it!

Just had my black lace-up cowboy boots resoled. The last pair I had went through three soles and lasted 11 years before the uppers gave out.

I need to polish the brown ones, though. They're looking pretty dismal.

I make things from leather, sometimes. Right now I need a fairly large brass buckle to make a baldric. I'll get it one of these days -- even in the Wild West danged few people carry rapiers or smallswords.

If wool sweaters shrink in the wash, why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

Is no one concerned that leather comes from poor animals?

Remember when they justified concentrating on naugahyde, under the pretext that poor baby naugas feel no pain when they're slaughtered.

The unfortunate things were driven nearly to extinction.

And certainly we must have at least a couple of members who could cogently discuss the immensely preferable use of latex and vinyl - for special effects.

The thread starter beat you to it, John. Read the title.

Peace -

I don't see any reference to either vinyl or to latex.

Oh. Here (stupid me) I thought this thread was about leather safes. I thought you were positing different materials.

Wouldn't leather safes be pretty easy to break into?

Condoms are often referred to as safes in Canada (the eastern part of the country, anyway).

Given the failure rate of condoms, I think I'd be wary of putting my money in one.

I have 2 sets of "Leathers". One set I ride in, the other I weld in. No, I don't think you could replace either with a synthetic material that would last as long or protect as well.

Most of our leather supplies come from the abattoir, so should we just throw it out, or try to make some use of it.

Oops, sorry about the non-post.


I was thinking of the parody of "Crow on the Cradle" that my friend used to sing:

"Sheep in black leather and cows into porn,
Now is the time for a child to be born,
He'll laugh at the moon and he'll hide from the sun,
If he's like me, he'll make lousy puns,
Sang the crow on the cradle."

I was thinking along the same lines but with a 'cow on the cradle'... but I like the idea of sheep in black leather ...

But now that takes me to nights in white satin.... Oh dear... Nurse! The SCREENS!!!
