USUALLY, IF LEATHER is submerged in salt water for years, it's useless. The exception: stingray skin, once used to protect samurai warriors in battle. These leathers of Thai origin are being revived as distinctive alternatives for men's accessories. This belt and wallet from Torino Leather ($220 and $140) have smooth beaded surfaces that are water-resistant and extremely durable.
