After searching and searching I have come to the conclusion that I do not like any of the leather textures in second life. Can't find one
that isn't crackely or wrinkly
Well, there are quite a few free leather textures on the Internet.Grab one you like, resize it, and use it! 
yes. That is the way!
Oh. Didn't think of that. Thank you!
Dev, if you find one you like and want it made seamless, send me a link. winks
Thank you! I'm starting to think I'm going to need to take a picture of something else and crop it.
I sample a lot of things here: www.cgtextures.com/
