That's cool. Wonder if you could work something out with drops.

Leather grips for drops have been around for a long time. I know a man that even makes his own leather hoods and they feel great

Meh, seems like it would be slippery with sweaty hands. And wouldn't it start falling apart after a while and leave crap all over your hands?

Not if it's real leather. You would have to baby it, though.
