If they are, let me just say...
I have several large scars, eczema and a lot of weird moles. you wouldn't want it!

There is an upcharge for that.

nope, Quartersawn Torso

Tone worms?  :laughing7:

Ugh, that website makes me want to vomit. Seriously, I can imagine some sleazy sweaty salesman cruising the palliative care wards of Calcutta making deals. As for removing the skin.....geez I used to upchuck when I had to skin rabbits, this would be 100 times worse. :sad:

P.S. I saw the Thread title and was HOPING this really wasn't about 'Human Leather"......

Those sleazy salesman really creep me out. This is why I prefer to make my own. arty07:

 

[B3Guy]

My parents own an upholstery and furniture repair shop in Green Bay and frequently have to deal with décor designers who love to use exotic materials for their higher-paying clients (mostly the wives of Packer players). They had to do a pair of footstools in goat pelts, and we all thought that was out there. I just hope none of the designers see these guys--that stuff is just creepy.

During WWII, ze Germans had a.....well long story short, there were SS officers with lampshades made of human skin.

One of my professors during my electrical apprenticeship would bring this in every now and then.  Let's just say it is real, he's a veteran, it's name is "Charlie", and it's of Southeast Asian origin.  He made a lamp out of it.  It seemed logical due to the location of the entry wound.

I've seen one of those. My grandmother had one. She had a number of unusual WWII artifacts that came with her second husband, who none of us really ever knew very well because he literally couldn't talk. Some sort of throat injury. I was too young to understand any of those implications, but it would have been interesting to hear what kind of stories he had to tell.

To be frank, the "Human Leather" site smells bogus to me.  Clearly if they're so exclusive, and their alleged clientele so discriminating, they wouldn't operate by advertising on the web.  This is some clowns having a put-on of some sort, or perhaps selling some comparatively exotic non-human leather goods to total suckers.

Remember, just because your read it on the internet, that don't make it true.

He didn't write?
Seems like he would have written some stories down if people asked him.

No, he wasn't much of a communicator. They bought a very small farm outside Detroit, and he basically spent all his time tending to the gardens and other property-related tasks. Not really a very friendly guy, but it could have been that he just didn't like my grandmother's kids and their kids running around terrorizing the place. Plus, who knows? Maybe the stories he had were best forgotten. WWII was a horrible thing, but nowhere as much so as it was in western Europe.

this story reminds me of my driving instructor..

He was quite an old guy and always told his female students that his wallet was made of penis leather and then asked the to stroke it so he could use it as a sports bag..
one time it rained and he asked another female student to stroke his penisleather jacket, so it would turn into a rain coat..
