Anyone bought one of these? Leather knob cover

[clipper]

Just ordered one of these.
Any experience of quality/finish/ ease of fitting?

I have fitted one of these:

and the quality was great. Took some doing to get it on (I had to heat it gently to be able to stretch it into place) but once on it looked the nuts. I'd buy another.

Thanks, thats encouraging. Looks like a similar product. Also this German seller has 100% feedback for all similar stuff.

I bought my original mushroom knob from the US for 12 dollars including postage and the leather cover is 12.50€, so all in all it will have cost me less than 20 quid.

Seems worth the risk.

beauty thanks for posting this, ive got one that needs a re trim this is well worth the punt to see, how the fook do you send the payment ? im stuck on the screen cant seem to put anything in

Are you buying the German one?

The postage doesn't calculate automatically so you have to look for the link that says the equivalent of "request total from seller".

yeah that one in link you posted, did he send you the total ? i was trying to translate bits it said something about no postage, ive sent him a message asking if he speaks english and i want to pay lol, looks like a bargain if it fits and looks decent il be over the moon with that

I put the "paying page" into google translate, then clicked on the "request total from seller".

I wrote in English that I expected him to send the invoice for the advertised postage costs (4.50€ within EU) plus ítem cost, totla invoice 12.49€.

That was at about 1:00 am last night and by lunch time today I had the invoice exactly as expected and completed the payment no problem.

I can't believe there's a bunch of guys on an open forum discussing Leather Knob Covers ..............

Three years on the zone and you haven't realised yet?

I'm thinking of using some saddle soap type of lubricant in order to ease the sheath over my knob......
