Members mmn Posted May 11, 2018 Members Report Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) No, it's not leather. But this works well for me. Not meaning to push the brand, just showing the concept. Could certainly make something similar, and custom fitted, out of leather. Regards Michael Edited May 11, 2018 by mmn Quote

Cool idea though. I agree here... but I also agree about seeing a need in the hipster market! Go for it and can't wait to see what happens... and you can even call them "Bespoke Boot Guards" and they will really drool.

Maybe but most of what I would classify as hipsters around here don't even wear boots. They're riding around with flip flops and shorts and no helmet because they don't want to mess up their hair man-bun. Quote

I know... same in Toronto (except must have helmets by law) while on the other end of the scale here we have electric bike riders in pajamas, baseball caps under Styrofoam helmets, with a case of bear between their legs.... smoking with a bungy corded radio playing full blast.. and often a small dog in a box somehow attached.... They are an unregulated, un-insured, unlicensed threat to public safety on the road and sidewalks....but I digress...

Members doorty Posted May 27, 2018 Members Report Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Anyone know the name of that stretchy material sewn to the leather?

Looks perfect for sewing to leather for a secure drink holder or flat pocket. Quote
