Chris.

Maybe there's yet another advantage to living in Chicago...there are an awful lot of used leathers in the resale stores. Last time I looked at the Salvation Army store the leather jackets and coats filled a whole rack...a lot of them were beat to hell but for this purpose the areas that had long pieces of leather like the back didn't look like they had as much wear...prices ran from 5 or 6 bucks for the really beat up to twenty for the ones that were in decent shape...the beat up ones having, as I said, useable expanses on the backs. Seems like a better possibility for someone who might knock up only one or two sporrans than having to buy a whole skin from a supplier.

Maybe the folks in LA don't go through as many leathers as they do here...or mayvbe they just get buried in their leathers so they don't end up in the resale storres.
