LEATHER good use of money
Leather goods will last beyond a life time(s) if properly cared for. Leather is the by-product of the meat industry. Cattle are not killed to produce leather. Leather is the recyling of a natural, renewable resource, which would be otherwise discarded. Leather has been important to humans since bibical times. Leather is a very comfortable, durable, versitile product. Use care when buying leather _______ at department stores. Usually you are buying near paper thin layer of leather on top (called grain), sandwiched to paper, glue, or plastic pulp(ocassional leather pulp) which are made to look like one solid piece. Look closely next time shopping. It is too the point, stores will be sued for the lack of leather in a leather belt, for example. A true leather belt is a belt with top grain & flesh side, without separation of either, & adhering back together, calling it a piece of leather. Or two thinner sets of the same glued and sewn together.
My customers are going back to the old fashioned custom leather products to get durablity, & personaliation for their dollar.
Leather provides the following with a livihood: rancher, farmer, cattle buyer, stock/feed yards, truckers, middle men between each of these jobs, butcher, tannery, saddlery, leather craft supply store,retailer for them, clerks, department stores. Furniture>pet food>belt>boot>fertilizer> belt>boot>glove>hat>coat>etcmany more FACTORY. Produces Billions for the economy & USA.
Leather wears the best when if protected from mud, excessive moisture, direct sun/heat exposure, solvants, & manure. When dirty, clean with a damp cloth not wet, dried (air), & reconditoned (do not saturate. When the finish, sewing, lacing start wearing out fix immediately to greatly lengthen longivity of product.
