First the thank-you. I do notice – and appreciate it – when some of the ideas I’ve tossed out get incorporated into the various RE set. It’s hard to write much about things one likes or things that are done well. But it’s easy to go on and on about what one doesn’t like and considers to be “mistakes.” So that has me coming across as being even more negative and hard-to-please than I really am

Second the idea. Since RE is using modern handcuffs and leg irons fairly often, how about investing in one or two sets of leather “cuff liners.” Like these:
