Did You Know This About Leather Dresses?

Beautiful?

Do you know that when a woman wears a leather dress,
a man's heart beats quicker,
his throat gets dry,
he gets weak in the knees,
and he begins to think irrationally???


Ever wonder why?


Venture a guess...


It's because she smells like a new Truck.

Leather is Hot!!!



I love the way that leather feels and smells. My country roots always come out when I'm around leather and immediately want to grab my flannel shirt and jeans.

Leather is a wonderful material that is exceptional when compared to other fabrics.
  • Leather is super strong and doesn't tear as easily as other fabrics.
  • Leather is actually more fire resistant than other fabrics.
  • Leather looks great even when it gets old if it is treated properly and still looks wonderful when it is used in a rough and tough environment.
  • Leather lasts forever! Well, not literally, but it does last five times longer than fabric.
  • Leather retains its shape and doesn't wrinkle especially when you compare it to something like linen! Yikes!
Leather is made from animal skins from such animals as:

Celebrate Leather and Dirty Men


Leather is created by tanning animal hide or skin and as sad as I am to say it, most of the hide comes from cattle which is just a fancy way of saying cows. Tanning is a process that permanently alters the protein structure of an animal skin and makes it into a product that does not easily decompose.

Sounds like the opposite of what happens when you become a parent. I think I decompose every five minutes.

That definitely explains where the threat comes from parents that sounds something like, "If you scuff the toes of your patent leather dress shoes, I will tan your hide."

Have you ever heard that before? Well, if not, it must be a Southern farming family thing.

I love the fragrance of leather. The moment I open the door to a leather shop, it hits me and I spend my time smelling and feeling everything.

I'm not sure if my love of leather started because my mother watched every cowboy show ever produced while I was growing up or because I lived in Texas most of my life where western leather shops became my second home.

On second thought, maybe it is just the vision of a sweaty, dirty, hard working cowboy that entices me to leather.

Anyway...

Since leather is so durable, flexible and can be tanned in so many different colors, it is used in a wide variety of items. I get used to thinking that leather is for shoes, purses and belts, but the uses for leather are almost as limitless as lace.

Yesterday I had a collection of lace and today there was a collection of leather. I believe there is song about Leather and Lace. That probably just aged me didn't it?
