Leather is so durable and I actually like the smell.
It does have a certain smell. It's made by tanning cattle hide, mostly
I have actually helped tan a hide. That smell was nasty. I had to leave the building.
Like most things I assume the creation process doesnt smell as good as the final product. People use leather for all sorts of things including shoes, jackets, etc.
When I was young I had a blue suede jacket and stitched a giant Micky Mouse on the back of it.
Hah, that's awesome! Leather is made using a variety of techniques, but what people do with the final form is cool
My friends and I attended a class on a reservation for creating leather art. It was such an amazing experience.
I bet! If you frequently oil the leather it keeps it suple and improves the lifespan too!
Absolutely, you also have to be very careful what you use to clean them.
Oh yea...you don't want to get too abrasive that's for sure,
