This guy and others are making a buck off history. Leather watch straps are prevalent but a watch strap Made from a WWII Bomber Jacket! apparently has more sexy selling value.I have no interest in the "monetary or historic value" of the items in question -- I just think what this guy is doing is unnecessarily wasteful, especially when there's plenty of actual leather scrap trimmings that he could be using instead.
He belongs to the crowd that destroys watches for their gears to use in jewelry, chops up ties to sew into skirts, rips bookplates out of old texts to decoupage onto shabby chic stools, etc. 'Tis not my cup of tea..
