The ones you see in these pictures are from ebags, a great luggage and bags online store. They also happen to have lots of leather luggage and bags.

So if your looking for something to impress your leather loving lady, or have a little girl, think about getting a nice leather jewelry box from ebags.

Well since it’s the holiday shopping time I figured I’d write some articles about all the different types of leather gifts you can buy for ideas. One cool gift is a shark skin leather wallet. Unlike a lot of exotic leather products, shark skin items are not all that expensive.

You can buy a good quality shark skin leather wallet for around $45.00 and up depending on what type of wallet it is. Yes shark skin is still considered to be leather because it comes from the hide, or skin of the creature. Shark skin leather is very durable and can take a lot of wear.

Yet it’s pretty thin, so it’s great for a wallet. Shark Skin has a rough, textured look to it but feels relatively smooth. Shark skin leather wallets are often dyed white, brown, tan and black. So if your looking for a one of a kind gift for your man, try getting a shark skin wallet for him.

I’m not going to recommend any one brand or place to get a shark skin wallet. Just google it and you’ll find plenty. Just make sure it’s REAL shark skin leather and that it does not say “Imitation shark skin” or man made shark skin leather. Hmm, now I’m thinking of buying myself a shark skin leather wallet!

With the Christmas shopping season here many will be out buying a nice looking leather fashion jacket for their lady or man. I often talk about how cowhide and buffalo hide are best for leather motorcycle jackets. That’s true, but not when it comes to fashion leather jackets.

Getting a leather jacket or coat you just want to look good in is much different than getting a motorcycle leather jacket. You don’t care about it protecting you from road rash if you fall off your bike. You want a jacket that looks sharp, feels good and is soft.

So in that case you’ll be more happier with a leather jacket or coat made out of lambskin, sheepskin or goatskin. All of those have more of a fine leather grain that makes them look smoother and polished. It also makes the leather softer as the leather grain is not as thick and rough.

Out of all of them lambskin is the softest, if all have been processed the same way. It’s also the weakest leather. But if the leather jacket is just for showing off and making the chicks at the bar run their hands over it, it’s fine! Sheepskin and goatskin are stronger and about the same in strength.

Now cowhide and pigskin are still great for fashion leather jackets too. They split the hide thinner for those types of jackets and coats. So they also can be very soft and look great. I’m just letting you know that lambskin, sheepskin and goatskin are fine for fashion leather jackets. Happy shopping!

Well it’s Thanksgiving week, time to look around you and be thankful for what you have. I suppose this year a lot of folks don’t have a whole lot to be thankful for. Those who don’t have a job, lost their home or otherwise are in the grip of these hard times are not going to be in the mood for it.

But my favorite saying is, “everything is relative”. Those who think they have it bad and feel down don’t understand that many, many others would love to trade places with you. Everyone always thinks the other guy has it better and your the one missing out.

Trust me, that’s not true. Many would be happy to get a cold bowl of rice on Thanksgiving day, then go back to their tarp hut. So quit whining! Here in the USA many families will be having a traditional Thanksgiving, with a family get together, football on the big screen and lots of beer!

I even made a special Thanksgiving leather jacket, complete with a cool turkey on the back! It should sell fantastic, I’m sure you want one, right? No? You don’t want a special turkey leather jacket for Thanksgiving? Well ok, maybe I’ll re-think it then. Anyway I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and remember, everything is relative, so be thankful for what you DO have.

Price: $188.00
Holiday sale till 12/25/09!
Only $149.00!

Well everyone, like it or not the Holidays are upon us! I don’t think many are feeling all that great about gift giving this year, what with all the money problems most are having. But for those who are doing okay, I’ve decided to have a sale on my most popular ladies leather jacket.

This women’s leather jacket is fantastic, with very long leather fringe on the front, back and arms. The fringe has both black and orange colors, to match the orange flame design on the front and back. The leather is made from top full grain naked cowhide that is very soft.

It has a snug gathered waist to show off your body and looks great both riding a motorcycle as well as using it for a fashion leather jacket. Comes with a zip out thinsulate liner and lots more, click the picture above to see all the details on it’s home page.

This ladies leather fringe jacket is my best seller, and it’s on sale now until Christmas. It’s common for popular leather jackets to sell out over the Holidays, so get yours while they last. I’ll try to pick out a men’s leather jacket to put on sale too, check back for that. Happy shopping!

Well everyone, we are now in the Holiday season, or almost there. Along with the Holidays comes lots of bright, shiny new products the stores want you to buy. One of the top items you see at the Holidays is lots of fake, or faux leather jackets. Faux is French for fake, and most leather jackets not made of real leather are called faux leather jackets.

So if your wife or girlfriend, or your man if your a gal, is looking forward to a new genuine leather jacket, the last thing you want to do is get a faux leather jacket. Unless she or he does not mind cheap stuff! So with so many out there during the Holidays, how do you tell them apart from real leather jackets?

Well, any and all fake and faux leather jackets are suppose to SAY they are. Normally it says on the tag, or on a tab attached to the jacket that it’s a faux leather jacket, or just faux leather. However they can get sneaky and creative. Some will call it a leather-like jacket. Or maybe leatherette, synthetic leather, man made leather, even designer leather!

They all mean one thing; it’s a fake or faux leather jacket! A faux leather jacket often has a shine to it unlike real leather. It’s often also thinner than real leather, which is why faux leather jackets are so damn cold! Also many faux leather jackets are very smooth, without the leather grain pattern.

However many faux leather items are stamped with a machine that puts a fake leather grain pattern into the material. A real leather jacket should say somewhere on it that it’s made with genuine leather, or that it’s a genuine leather jacket. If it’s quality it should even say what type of hide the leather is, like cowhide or sheepskin.

If your shopping in a good quality leather store you don’t have to worry. They will not carry any faux leather jackets. But even high end department stores like Macy’s carry faux leather jackets, so be warned. Look for a tag that says if it’s a faux leather or genuine leather jacket. If your not sure, keep looking. Girls don’t like real genuine plastic faux leather jackets!!

Well this is a late post for Halloween, but it’s still before most go trick or treating today so it’s close enough! I’m still up visiting my mom in Vermont so I’m not doing much. It’s cold and windy out with a good chance of rain. If I was going out I’d dress up as a bad-ass biker. Or maybe leather face!

Or I could wear a cheap patchwork leather jacket and go as that guy in “Silence of the lambs”. (you know, he was making a skin form for himself,,patchwork,,, yeah,,,). But since I’m not going anywhere I get to stay in and write this riveting post!

So anyway I hope everyone else is having a good time trick or treating, or going to some crazy Halloween party. Be safe and watch out for monsters and goblins. Happy Halloween from Leather Supreme! (Hey, it rhymes!)

Mulholland Brothers All Leather Lariat Longhorn

Once again I’ve added a new leather product page in my store. This time It’s quality leather luggage from Luggage Pros, a leader in brand name luggage, bags and briefcases. They have a good selection of leather luggage, from carry-ons, bags, duffels, rolling carts, garment bags and more.

All the leather is made from cowhide, buffalo or pigskin to give you years of use. It’s all top quality, no patchwork, bonded leather or other crap. The leather comes in different colors too, not just black. Plus it’s from top brand names, like Mulholland Brothers, Hartmann and more.

The leather has been treated and sealed, so you don’t have to do a thing with it once you get it. Just condition and seal it once a year or so depending on how often you use it. I highly recommend any leather products from Luggage Pros. They only carry top quality items. So check my new leather luggage page out and tell me what you think!

Hi everyone! I’m up in my home state of Vermont for a short working vacation and seeing the fall foliage season. It’s a bit late up here, most of the leaves are off the trees in the mountains. But I did take some pictures that look okay. The one bright day out I had a smudge on my lens, so those are hazy.

Then the next day was overcast, so the pictures came out dull and cold looking. But I made a page of my best pictures you can see here in my Vermont fall pictures page. So you can take a peek at them and let me know what you think. I’ve got to brush up on my photograph skills!

Going for a motorcycle ride in the fall in Vermont is fantastic and a great way to see the best fall foliage. With a good leather jacket to keep you warm and leather gloves it’s not too cold, except maybe for the night. However it’s a bit late in the season now, and I sure am not going riding out there on a bike! Anyway enjoy the Vermont fall foliage pictures.

Well today I have a post that has nothing to do with leather. Instead I’d like to share a true story that happened to me over last weekend. I have some friends that went away to Tampa for four days. They have two big dogs and a cat, so I helped them out by house sitting for them.

Thursday night went fine. Then Friday night came. Now, for those who don’t know, I’m a bit hard of hearing. So when I’m asleep I don’t hear much. I was sleeping in a back spare room of the house. Around 2:30 AM the dogs woke me up by jumping on the bed and barking.

So I got up and went to the living room. They were both growling at the back door. The house has a fenced in back yard with a screened in back patio. There is a double door that opens to the back patio from the house. It’s that type of door where one is shut all the time by a sliding latch at the bottom and top of it.
