I. too, have bought many different kinds of thimbles but have found that I like the leather ones best. When the leather starts to wear a bit thin in the spot I use the most I will either glue on a small patch of leather on top of the thimble in that spot or wear one of the stick-on leather dots under the thimble on the spot on my finger the needle hits most often.
