I have lots of shoes made from leather, how about you?
1_Wizard
I do too! I like to polish my leather. It's relaxing for me. How about you?
0_Apprentice
I prefer the smell of it unpolished. It has a very particular smell don't you think?
1_Wizard
Yes, I agree. I wonder if the smell comes from the material or the tanning process.
0_Apprentice
I believe it's from the tanning process
1_Wizard
Whenever I read a book set earlier than the 20th century, it invariably mentions how badly tanneries smelled.

I suppose it's dependant on a persons taste. It's quite a strong smell for sure.
1_Wizard
I've never smelled the tanning process personally. I love the smell of leather though.

It's certainly unique, isn't it?
1_Wizard
It's surprising how many items of clothing contain leather. Shoes that appear to be cloth are sometimes actually leather, it seems.
