Leather Scraps

I have more saddles and pairs of leather boots from fishing than I can manage. Can we please have a mechanic added to the game where leather items could be broken down into leather scraps? The mechanic could work similarly to how gold and iron nuggets already do - each item broken down produces one (or multiple depending on the item) leather scrap. These scraps could then be combined to make leather- 9 scraps, or possibly bundles - 8 or 5 scraps and a piece of string? We could also potentially utilize scraps for repairing leather items or add the leather scraps to an armor template for brown/tan details.
