    You might play hell keeping it in good shape... Extreme heat like that inside a vehicle in the summer sun is HORRIBLE on leather. Would Definetally require very regular oiling.

    Maybe that's why you don't see them .. .. I guess I could add that with my interior cleaning Regiment.. on mine would want 2 though because I wound sleeve the air lines in a small piece of copper or PCV tube in cause I ever had to replace a airline ..
    It would be a poor man's twin stick that way ..lol

    I thought a poor boys twin stick was a Mack extended range 6spd. Those usually got heater hose on the sticks to shut them up, not for decoration. Maybe you should be leaning toward a stitched leather shift knob with a matching steering wheel cover. You’d oil them all day.

    Cattleman better arrange for furnish, be a while till that "benchmark" is obtained. Not smart, just documented fact. I have 3 belts in the closet I have been keeping "till I lose enough" to wear. One even has "ROGER" on the back. I have a solid brass eagle buckle and CAT, CLARK and an ACTION.
    All top dresser drawer broke. Belts gang hook amicably on a tie hangar in closet. :D:D

    I hired a Mexican swampier to help me years ago. His son worked for friends of mo e spoke great English so I assumed any way ol Effein spoke not a lick but was very proud in the fact he had come across the river legal from the start. He made me a very nice riding quirt with long poppers. Horses it’s hit 0 Any way I want a shifter to mirror it just without the poppers. I’ll post some pics I get back out to truck

    Well we're all friends here .. I hide on secrets.. I'am 6' and tipped the scales at 180 -185lbs the last 30 years
    Then about 8 years ago when GF J showed up it started climbing.. few months ago I finally nerved up enough to check .. it was 236.. .. I set my bench mark at 190.. Now that she's not around .. Iam in hopes of reaching that .. it might take a year but I plan on putting the 200 in the rear view mirror.. this extra baggage is hard on me

    What kind of oil do you recommend for leather goods, specifically the pocket knife sheath I just bought and the leather seats in my girlfriend's car? Should I use mink oil like I do on my boots, or something else?
     
    tramm01, D.Tibbitt, cke and 1 other person Thank this.

    You mean like the Geniuses that like to Armoral their steering wheel..
    I've got 1 of those Sh###y fake wood steering wheels I would like to have it wrapped .. but with really soft leather.. but not the cheap crap like the auto manufacturer use.. @Cattleman84 .. ????
    I've notice this leather topic has been interesting..
    I should see if I can get a custom made cow pimping hat band .. maybe with a chew can pouch.. on it .. but then @wore out might want 1 just a tick wider and with a diamond studs in the eyes of long horn skull branded in it.. then @pete781693 would want 1 just alittle wider with a Skull & cross bones and rubys
    Then I reckon @Oxbow would probably step up & 1 up everybody and order a leather head band with 14k gold and a matching eye patch & sword belt to wear when he & Pete go Pork Pirate'n
    Then @Isafarmboy will sneak in and have a custom band made with wool lined ear flaps for the long winter months up there
    So it's just best not to go there

    My son has an albino bison now. When that cow dies, I be stylin like a pro wrestler in a white bison robe.

    Maybe I can get a matching banana hammock made out of tail!

    Oh, and Armorall ought to be banned. That crap is a dust magnet.
