I have lost 90 pounds since December, and I have a ton of loose skin. If I get it surgically removed, would I be able to keep it? And if I was able to keep it, could I turn it into leather and make a jacket or belt out of it or something?

Thank you

anyone know how to shrink these? ive been blowdrying them on low but no dice. theyre deerskin

Label says 100% leather and when I bought it they told me it’s leather but I thought leather didn’t peel like this? Anyone know how to fix/suggestions on what to do? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I didn’t follow instructions, and I threw my new genuine leather jacket in the washing machine. I airdried it and it looks like this now. Is there any way to fix this??

hi can I possibly fix this leather jacket, Condition mentioned in the video. its a jacket by neil barrett lambskin if you need more information. Thank you!

I’ve cleaned this vintage Gucci bag and added leather conditioner but it’s still got lots of lines and scratches that seem to be under the surface.

Have I over-treated it? Is it normal or should I be taking a different approach?

Hi guys, I recently purchased a goat suede leather coat and would like to protect it against rain and overall winter humidity and fog like weather.

Do you have any recommendations?

I’m not sure which spray protect to pick since some allegedly might leave a residue.

Thank you all

they sold it to me on ETSY. thin leather. really nice prints. had an inner "pocket" loved the stud closure.

Hi everyone! Yesterday I got caught in a nasty long storm on my way home and had to walk for quite a while. Unfortunately as much as I wanted to avoid the puddles my shoes still got flooded with muddy rainwater and once I got home I realised they smelled pretty bad, so just letting them airdry or stuffing them with paper towels wasn't an option of I wanted them feeling fresh again.

While they were still soaking wet I removed the laces, then went in and washed them thoroughly with liquid handsoap and a rough-ish sponge to really get the dirt and the smell out, and then rinsed them thoroughly under running water from the detachable showerhead until they felt clean, after which I gently pressed out as much water as many times as I could from the cushy parts. I then went in and tried to disinfect them with my AHD disinfectant spray, especially the soles and the cushions at the back. Lastly, I stuffed them with paper towels and left them under a running blowdryer on a cold setting to avoid heat damage to the glue for about 20 minutes (it was late at night and I felt bad for bothering the neighbours since I live in an apartment) which helped but didn't leave them dry, so I left them to airdry.

The next day, they're still somewhat wet and still smell like they did after the storm, although not as bad as before. I'm contemplating a machine wash but I'm hesitant since the nike website recommended to avoid washing machines, and mine is quite old, it sometimes even damages clothes let alone a pair of leather shoes that I don't want to ruin. Should I just keep repeating the same cleaning process I've done untill no smell is left or should I try something else? Maybe use a detergent instead of handsoap? The handsoap was my first thought because I was panicking and it was the closest thing, plus I've used it before successfully to handwash delicates.

Trying to source a leather face mask harness from Hellraiser 3, but any Google search with "hellraiser mask" in the title just gives the pinhead mask. Etsy is riddled with Ai now, unfortunately. Any leads on leather makers who have made/could make this?
