I have made a few sets of these over the last few months which have been in use by me and a handful of other people to good effect. No issues with longevity and they seem a good solution to protecting optics whilst giving immediate, simple and more importantly, silent access to your optic when needed. They are like the bikini covers that come with many scopes but unlike those that tend not to be repairable when the bonded rubber straps break, these will just need easily obtainable elastic threading back through in the event you might catch it on brambles or barbed wire or something like that. The leather is a vegetable tanned buffalo leather which also has a small amount of chrome tanning as well, so an element of weather protection will be provided. Complete saturation would need to see them dried out naturally and then some renapur or leather cream would need applying like your other leather kit like boots etc but these should stand up to heavy abuse for a long time. Light shower or mist will be fine. The elastic can also be tied to your desired taughtness. They are made so they only need about 1 inch or so of stretch but you could tighten it up if you wanted more tension. Me personally, I dislike the bikini covers that come with so many scopes as they are actually quite tight and need too much effort to remove and replace which then leads to rubber fatigue and breakage. These are much easier.
They are box and butt stitched. The amount of leather used is not a huge cost but they take time to make properly and postage/packing annoyingly forms about another fiver so whilst they are nice enough things and offer decent utility, I am not sure if they are worth offering for sale price wise. They can be made to your exact scope objective and ocular bells sizing and there would be various thread colours to choose from as usual, so you can have it how you want. Dark green or dark brown elastic available. I could get them to your door for £30 but wanted to assess demand etc before getting trade membership for a month or two and getting all the stuff back out again.
Let me know if this is something you would pay for or if it is basically excessive for something dull and boring.
