I guess ostriches must have countless offspring to need so many nipples!

Quill holes, perhaps?

If it was used on car seats it would save the taxi drivers using those wooden ball mat things.

I seem to recall there is a Zonda sporting said product.

Try marketing it as "gorillas nipples", it'll be all the rage this year.

[Beefmeister]

Indeed. Ordered by one Rod Stewart...

(yes, I know it's an emu, not an ostrich, but it's my favourite pic in the whole world, ever )

Looks good on small leather goods. Wallets, handbags etc. Seem to recall seeing a Porsche steering wheel in it too.

they're reasonably hard wearing but obviously not as hard wearing a normal cow hide

It's been used for watch straps for years.

Issac, how much to trim a pair of of RS Turbo 90 seats in a decent leather with a quilted alcantara squab and upright centre bit thing?

I know something interesting!
Look at me, I know something!

Nelson Mandellas shoes that he walked out of prison with, were made of ostrich skin. They went into the Guinness book of records a few years back as the most expensive item of clothing sold at auction.



Okay, not that interesting...
