    Belt or No Belt on an MC Jacket

    Speaking of travel bags, murses and such ...

    Leather cement

    Depends on the contact cement .... I have had good results removing glue from jackets with either "zoff" ( used for removing gum residue ans sticky stuff nleft by decals on motorcycles and is water soluable solvent) or something as simple as a pencil eraser. HTH R

    Breaking in Selvedge Denim - 14 oz. vs 21 oz.
