I certainly hope he doesn't have a fire either but what concern is it of mine? I just cut the leather....I didn't put it on the suit. Will the leather somehow make it more flammable?
If I make a trophy for someone and it falls off a shelf and hurts someone down the road am I liable?
Forgive me if I read something in your post that wasn't there but it just sounded snippy to me.
I suppose we engravers need to be lawyers too?
Should I call him and tell him to take it off? (devil)

No, not snippy at all, just from expierience. I read into your post you attached the name, my mistake.
In todays law suit happy enironment, we should all be aware of product liability issues.

Hey Brian, I used to race motorcycles professionally and my guess is (what you have pictured) are leathers for motorcycle racing.
The only sports that come to mind where you wear full leather suits are motorcycle racing - MotoGP, superbikes etc. (not dirtbikes) and the crazy nuts that do "road luge" down steep hills on extra long skateboards.
Any sport that has a fire hazard typically requires Nomex racing suits, as well as supplemnental Nomex under gamrments, booties, gloves and helmet liners as part of the safety equipment requirements.
Personally, I wouldn't sweat it (unless actually wearing full leathers) :-)
My 2 cents.
