I've used the black leather on my OT but KoF Tommasini. Wrapped from the center out and finished with black Velox plugs. Went on easily and has stayed put (so far). I'm not sure how to quantify stretching. It was easy to wrap tightly. It looks nice, but not quite as cool as the Velo-Orange stitched-on elkhide (and isn't as soft), but it's a heck of a lot easier (and quicker) to put on.
