Re: Leather Tailgate Chain Covers

Those look downright crafty. Nice custom touch. You've got talent. As far as leather in weather goes,just like in your interior you have to maintain it. Outside has different needs,but basically all leather needs to be cleaned and conditioned (oils) to keep pliable. Just like horse & motorcycle saddles and saddlebags (shoes/boots,too). Many classic autos used leather throughout the car,including straps to hold the hood down.
