Happy New Year’s from Leather Supreme!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy New Year’s. It’s been an interesting year for me. The first part of the year I was living with two roommates. I started this site, and started working on some others I also have. Then in the fall I went up to Vermont, where I’m from. I stayed 2 months at my mom’s and took in the fall foliage.

Then about 2 months ago I moved back down here to Florida where it’s warm! I currently live about 8 miles from Walt Disney World. I can hear the fireworks go off each night as I sit at my desk writing my post. I live by myself now in a nice place. I’m making more and more off my websites each month, I picked a good time to do that.

Otherwise I might be unemployed with how the job cuts are going all over. I hope 2009 is better for me, I have big plans. My new Orlando vacation site should be my biggest and best website yet, time will tell. Things always pick back up, and tourist will start coming back to Disney. So my site will be ready when they do.

As for this site, I’ll keep working on adding more leather jackets, saddlebags and lots more for sale in here. I really underestimated how much time it takes to make those pages, that’s why I have so little for sale. But I’m working on it! I’ll keep telling all about how to care for, clean and pick out good leather jackets and items. Have a great New Year’s everyone!!! 🙂

Care of leather jackets in the winter and cold

care of leather jackets in the winter and cold

When winter comes most people put away their leather motorcycle jackets. Unless your down south like Florida where I am. In that case it’s perfect for biking at this time of year! But even if your up north there still are plenty of fashion leather jackets and shearling leather jackets made for the winter to wear as all around jackets and coats.

Most have no idea what, if any, extra care should be done with leather jackets in the winter time. There are a few things you should do to help your leather jacket make it through the winter months as best as possible, as well as things not to do. The number one enemy of leather jackets in the cold winter months is drying out from the cold dry air. Continue reading Care of leather jackets in the winter and cold

Leather motorcycle jacket store is now open!

leather jackets

Hot damn! Well it took me a damn long time, but as you can see from the new top menu I now have my leather store open! Well, I don’t have much yet, just a few men’s and woman’s leather jackets. But at least it’s a start. I don’t have anything in the saddlebag section, that’s just got a “coming soon” greeting. I just wanted to try to fill up the menu.

Now once I get a lot more in here, those sections you see will change to “men’s leather apparel” and “woman’s leather apparel” along with sections for motorcycle gear bags, accessories and stuff like that. Then inside the men’s and woman’s sections will be more categories like ladies leather motorcycle jackets, fashion jackets, leather vest, halter tops and so on, you get the idea.

I’m telling you, putting in all the items by hand is a real pain in the ass! But I strongly believe I will get much better search engine hits with my own words in wordpress than by using a pre-made shopping cart. It will take me a month or so to slowly add all the items. There will be much more leather jackets than you see in each section right now.

So go take a peek at the leather motorcycle jackets I have now and tell me what you think. I think I have put all the information you want to know about them in the description. Instead of a generic “top grade leather” blurb, which means nothing, I tell you if it’s cowhide or buffalo, top grain, full grain or split grain, and if it’s naked leather or analine. Confused? Then click on the “leather Info” link in the blog categories to your left and find out all about how to pick out quality leather Items!

More leather information pages added

What’s going on everyone? I wanted to let you all know that I added a shipping, payment and returns page. I also added a privacy policy page too. So now I’m about ready to start adding my leather jackets, chaps and all the other leather apparel and items I will have in my leather store. Looks a bit funny to see those pages and no store!

But it all takes time, I’m working on 5 other sites, plus I have my regular writing job! I tried to make the shipping, payment and returns page very easy to understand by posing each answer as a question, like “do you ship outside the USA”? Which by the way, I don’t. I ship inside the USA by UPS. But if you have a P O Box I will ship your order by USPS. Shipping is free.

I spelled everything out in there for shipping. For the payment information I explained how I accept all credit cards, bank debit cards and paypal. Now, paypal is what I use for a merchant account. They are the ones that process the cards. But you do NOT have to have a paypal account. You just fill in your card information and they process it, simple as that.

For returns I explained all the details and what you have to do. No you don’t need to fax in your drivers license and fill out a 24 page form! All of it is pretty simple and fair. For my privacy policy, that was real easy! Since Paypal processes your card, I never have any of your account information. All I have is your name and address and email.

I’m not going to sell them or share them. Anything I have is going to stay right with me. So you can stop worrying about getting email spam from me or someone I shared with, cause I’m not! So, take a look at them and tell me if anything is wrong or if you have any questions. I put a contact form in each page for you. Now I’ll start adding my leather jackets and other leather items, look for them soon!

Leather jacket, chaps and apparel sizes

Hi everyone. Today I added a leather sizes chart in my pages. You can see it right over there on your left. Go ahead and browse through it if you want. I made it pretty detailed so you know just what to do. The leather items I will be selling all come from the same central wholesaler, even if the names on the leather items are different. What that means is that all the sizes are the same for all the leather items.

Different brands and manufactures often have slightly different ways of measuring, so a size medium in one brand may fit different than the next brand. All the leather apparel I will carry is from the same place, so all the sizes are consistent. Most of them are in number sizes. That is, instead of a small or medium they go by size 38 or 44 and so on. That is more accurate, as it goes by your real measurements.

Now there is one very important thing you need to know when picking a size for your leather jacket or vest. You measure the largest part of your chest area. Then you ADD 2 INCHES TO IT! What that means is, say your chest is 44 inches around. When you pick a size for your leather jacket, you should get a 46 inch one. That’s because you need to allow for clothes and bending. It’s always better to get one a bit too big than one too small. Some even get one 3 or 4 inches bigger than the chest measurement.

As for leather pants, those you measure around your waist, then get them the same size, or maybe one inch larger. But for leather chaps, you get them 2 inches larger. Most leather pants and chaps come long so you can cut them to the length you want. Cut them as your sitting down so you get them long enough, as they ride up when sitting.

There are more measurements for leather halters, shorts and so on, I put them all in the leather size chart. So skim through it and find out how to measure yourself to find the right leather jacket size, or for any other leather item. Let me know if you have any questions, and remember that if you have any doubts, always get a size bigger than a size smaller!

Is using leather humane for animals?

is using leather items humane?


Well here we are, the big Labor day weekend! I’m flying up to Vermont to see my mom and take in the fall foliage. I’ll stay there about 2 months and work on my laptop. I may even get to meet a pretty babe, life is good! So anyway I wanted to set the record straight as far as if using leather is humane.

Now we know leather comes from animals, mainly cows, pigs, buffalo, goats, sheep and lambs. So there is no denying that wearing leather comes from a dead animal. But the question is, do any animals die because of the leather from their hides? That is, do any animals get killed to take their hide and turn it into leather? The answer is a big NO!

Now I am not talking about fur coats or other items made from fur. Yes, animals like mink, fox and several other types of animals do get raised and killed for the main purpose of using their fur and hide. But for leather items, the hide is a byproduct of the main reason the animal is used for, which is their meat. There is no way it is cost effective to raise an animal just for the hide of it, especially big animals like cows and pigs. Continue reading Is using leather humane for animals?
