Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by mattmccabebrown, Nov 6, 2014.

  1. Ive still go the suit I crashed in at Silverstone earlier this year, but its now useless (except the knee sliders ;-) ) Can I recycle the leather or do I just chuck it in the bin?
    Can
     
  2. when you say "useless", how bad are they...there are people who repair leathers. panels can be replaced.

    I can recycle the knee sliders for you...
     
  3. You could cut it into tassel's and sell them to Diavel owners.

  9. This thread has become all kinds of disturbing.
     
  10. According to a recent study, 98% of women say they don't like men who wear leather trousers.

    That actually works out rather well, since 98% of men who wear leather trousers apparently don't like women.

  12. nope, just like helmets, once they've brushed against a few heavy bees or been discarded for more than a year or two, its dangerous to use them. Its the materials you see, they degrade over time due to atmospheric pressure as well as body and other moisture attacking them at a molecular level. Not that you can see anything, but its what the manufacturers say, and those safety people who work for, oops WITH, them, so best bin em ;)

    hth
     
  13. I think they do recycle, at least that would explain what I had in my £12.99 steak dinner last night in the Green Man pub.

  14. Cut up your leathers and get the pieces re-stitched into a handbag, Matt. Then sell it for £1,500 - have you seen the price of handbags lately? Or you could just use it yourself ...
