What to do with old leather.

I have a set of old leathers, 1994 old. Nothing anyone would wear for track days. Had them on EBay, no interest in them from anyone. Besides giving them to Goodwill, what can be done with them? Would a leather place buy them for scrap leather?

 

Hang 'em up in the man cave. If you don't have a man cave then get one. Even better if they have crash damage!

 

I had an old set that i donated to a friend that runs a race school. They had some life left, so he could use them as loaners or rentals to students.

 

Il take them use em amd when I'm finished pass them on for free to the next poor guy trying to do some track days

 

They're in good shape, I don't think I ever crashed in them. I just do not see anyone wanting them as they do not have the protection of even a ten year old suite. I'm thinking about making a bag out of them, aka Frietag.

 

It was worth a try on my end

 

I gave a set away for cost of shipping once on here. The back had blown out but for about $300 they could have been repaired. You can also give them away in your newspaper classifieds. A street rider may want them.

 

Il pay shipping call me 6465334136

 

Cut the ass out of 'em and wear them to the GNF Halloween party.

 

DONATE THEM! i know a bunch of canadians race in the dominican every year, and take donation equipment with them. some of these people race with very little gear, or very rashed sub-par equipment.

 

I don't think you realize how small DaveK is....

 

Give them to Stevie Nicks in exchange for some lace.

 

I like the "poor racer's donation" thing myself.


If you don't go that route, find someone with a Pit bull, let the dog chew on em.....

 

Oh shit, that's so funny...I'm dying here!

Go to a local seamstress and have Mladin's (insert fav hot racer) button patch sewn on and display in the man cave. 'Yeh, he gave them to me after I helped him out of the Air Fence"

 

Funny I just threw my first set of AGV leathers away from 1995. They were really rashed up, probably about 6 crashes on them.
I wanted to keep them since it was my first but it was just taking up to much room and what the hell am I gonna use them for. If I had known of the donate I would of gave it to them.

 

Give them to the guy with the dead critter in his truck. Old smelly leathers smell better than a rotting corpse.

 

leather is recyclable. Do a local search for recycling centers and give them a call. They should be able to direct you to a place that can take them.

 

I have most of my leathers dating back to none your business. They take up a lot of space but I don't care. They make me smile.

Keep 'em and remember.

 

How about having them cut and changed into a jacket? Just an idea.

 

post on supermoto forums, someone would probably be happy to get cheap leathers and not trash MX gear and buy new over and over again.
