We found this little kit to make a leather covered stainless steel thermos bottle that fits perfectly into a water bottle cage. All there is to it is sewing on the leather strip and putting some leather conditioner on it. You could also tool a design on the leather if you have an artistic bent. I just put neatsfoot oil on this one and it turned a nice light honey color. I'll try some shoe polish on the next one to make it brown. The bottle holds 12oz and has a handy push button top and a lid that serves as a cup. LCT$23.75 All images and text copyright Velo Orange, LLC 2006, 2007, 2008.
