Also, it has become quite popular for people to have their initials, name or a phrase engraved into leather. There are many places available online that can do that now.

Three years ago, leather wrist accessories became available online with a much better selection than what was available in most retail stores. The retail stores had quite a delay before they figured out what people really wanted in a leather band.

I spotted leather band trend about 3 years ago and could see online selections keeping pace with demand, but it took about another year or two before retail stores started to come out with what customers were really looking for in a leather band. In my opinion, most retail stores are still working on figuring out what is popular. I don't think they have quite figured it out yet. I think selection for leather bands is much better online than what is available in retail stores.

I see this leather band trend as being one that will not die anytime soon. I see styles evolving and changing, even now. I think styles will continue to change over years, but, I think popularity of leather wristbands and wide leather cuff watches is here to stay, at least for next decade or two.

INTERIOR On interior, begin your inspection in basement and then follow system throughout each floor in house. The system for inspecting interior is to begin with floor, go to walls and then ceiling, and then consider any appliances or other items in room. Move from room to room, always in same direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) so as to not miss any areas. If you see a door, open it! In utility room in basement, first notice floor, walls (possibly foundation walls are visible here), then ceiling (floor joists may be visible), then go to furnace, hot water heater, electrical panel, plumbing system, etc. When inspecting floors, walls and ceilings, scan entire area that is visible, not just one section. In a finished room you would notice floors, walls (including windows) and ceiling. Next look for heat sources, electrical outlets and switches, fireplaces, closets etc. In bathroom or kitchen, notice floor, walls and ceiling, then plumbing fixtures.

CONDITION While performing inspection, whether at exterior, interior or one of mechanical systems, note system first, then its relative condition. For example, if you were inspecting a wall on interior of home you would first note that wall is plaster, and then examine wall for cracks and irregularities.
