    Wife is thinking of retrimming seats in leather .

    She told me today that she has been saerching about as most cav t leather is a bit crap and well worn .
    She has been a seamstress before and made dresses for 3 weddings , she is very clever at it .
    She phoned up somewhere today and they said £420 for enough leather to do it . Don't know if he was joking with her or not but he said it would come in cow shape and 3 cows worth . lmao
    She was thinking doing the middle bits of the seats in a satin red ish colour .
    I canny invest in ya and for that reason , I'm oot .

    Think of a cow, chop its head, legs and tail off, cut its skin open under its belly, rip it off and lay it flat, that is the shape of a hide.

    A cows hide is very thick, so it is then cut into layers for differant types of leather, suede, chamoise, belts etc etc.
