Today I was playing pool at a friend’s house and I noticed something about the pockets of the pool table: the outsides of the pockets were covered in light-brown leather, and the leather had a wood grain look. In other words, it looked exactly like actual wood - I thought it was real wood until I touched it.
I thought at that moment that it would be really cool, and also as far as I know extremely unique, to have a whole jacket made of that wood-grain leather. I highly, highly doubt that any designer already makes a jacket like this - it would have to be custom made.
What’s the best way of having a jacket like that custom-made? I assume the first step would be to figure out the kind of leather that the pool-table company used, and then contact that leather company and put them in touch with the leather-smith (if I’m able to find one) that would be making the jacket. Is this the best way?
Is this sort of wood-grain leather common? I had never seen it before. Have any of you ever seen it? The pool table was made by Brunswick, by the way.
