What do leathers do in lacrosse strings?
For a traditional pocket, they have no use in a mesh pocket unless it is an open sidewall goalie stick.
I cannot be sure, but I agree. That looked a whole lot like Dafoe for at least three different moments in the first set of scenes in the Jazz club.
What is the best way to break in new leather work boots?
The sooner you just wear them out for a while the better off you will be and you wont have to wait for someone to answer this question! Other than that you could bend the shoe where it would normally bend and wrap tape around it just like you would do with a baseball glove!
AnswerI suggest you wear them until they begin to feel uncomfortable, then switch to your old boots, then wear the new ones again the next day, a little longer every day until you suddenly realize you've been wearing them all day and your feet feel fine. If they're the right size, this shouldn't take too long. Leather also tends to soften with heat, so try leaving them in a sunny window. (Don't cook them over the stove!) Neetsfoot oil also softens leather, but in the long run it can weaken the boots.you wear them a lot duh!!

How do you tell real leather from fake leather?
Steps to tell real leather from fake leather:
- Look for a label indicating that the product is leather. Sounds obvious, but it's the most sure-fire way. Real leather products will proudly sport this fact, whereas you know it's a fake if the label reads, "Man made materials." Don't buy a product without a label.
- Study the edging where the fabric has been cut. Real leather will have a rough-around-the-edges look and feel to it, but fake leather will look and feel like foam or plastic.
- Feel the fabric. Fake leather has an artificially smooth, often plastic feel to it. Depending on the type and quality of leather, real leather can range from coarse to silky smooth. But the texture will generally be less consistent than fake (since you can't regulate the real thing) and have a suppler feel to it.
- Examine for pores on the surface of the leather. Pores on the fake will be in a consistent, repeating pattern, whereas pores on the real thing will be more irregular.
- Take a whiff of the product. If it doesn't have that distinct "leather" scent, you can be sure that it's a fake.
- Spend some time comparing fake leather products with genuine leather. Once you've seen the difference between the two, you will eventually get good at spotting a faux right away.

Can a Kenmore 158.13360 sew leather?
Yes, if the leather is thin enough, your needle sharp enough, and thread strong enough. Look for a thin, soft leather such as kid. It will help to change out your needle to a much sharper "leather" needle, which also has more metal between the tip and the eye, to punch through the heavy material better before pulling thread through it. You may want to use nylon filament as replacement for normal thread. You won't hurt any part of the machine proper, but be careful you don't push the motor too hard; you don't want to burn it out or break the belt.
You may have to adjust the thread tensions, since the top thread will be pulling through thick material. Don't expect to sew quickly. Although your machine (a model 33) is a workhorse, leather is usually sewn on specialized machines, and you are asking it to do something a bit out of its league.
What is the strongest leather?
Full grain cowhide leather is considered very strong and durable because of its thickness. However another kind of very strong and lightweight leather is kangaroo leather, which many consider to be the strongest leather around. Kangaroo leather is 10 times stronger than cowhide leather. If you buy a "leather jacket" of good quality nowadays, it will likely be made of Kangaroo leather, because it retains it's toughness, though being very thin and flexible.

eBay?
well if it were on eBay i wouldn't be in such dire need of finding it.
I have a 1973 Ford Mustang, which came stock with all vinyl upholstered seats. I got lucky, and they weren't damaged AT ALL. they had some minor dirt problems. I've done some research on the internet, and it says that you can clean them with most household cleaning products EXCEPT: Bleach. which i wouldn't recommend anyways. an article i rad says that WATER can damage the seats or cause mildew or mold, BUT only if left on for long periods of time. Another article I read said that Armor All wipes work good to protect the vinyl from future damage from the sun and all the other elements, as well as give the vinyl the "classy" look of the original vinyl. The most helpful article I read said to use Armor All Wipes, and then gently use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to help take off that ground in dirt. I've tried all of the mentioned processes, and the last one was BY FAR the most effective.
