DMD Posted August 19, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2012 I have a patch that has a faint aroma of leather. You can detect the smell if the tip of your nose is almost touching the patch. Should there be any smell to leather that is 50 to 70 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted August 19, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2012 I would think that the length of time for the oder to disapate, would be dependent upon the length of time the leather was soaked in the tanning chemicals, the type of chemicals that were used, the quality of the leather and the thickness. Some leather has that great smell of YEARS afterward. I didn't nemtion the TYPE of hide......cow, bull, goat, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the ways to keep a leather patch from smelling is to cut off its nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
