They don't use the skins for anything. They toss them away...leave them for the maggots and ants to eat, just like they do with the lungs, guts, heart, liver..ect.

There are answers in the books. I have seen a Fangoria pic where KPH in suit is holding what apperars to be a yummy human treat like he's greazing on it?
Now, those ' books' are sources I would trust- Fangoria and Gorezone magazine. I think I know of the pic you are talking about...It's actually a poster. I had it on my wall as a girl. It's hard to say if the Predator was feeding or not. I see how it can look like he is. I think Kevin was just holding it ( a bloody skull with a section of the spine attached) at an odd angle. I think a close shot of him holding the skull was needed and that was the only way to squeeze it into the photo shoot. I must admit that for the longest I thought the Predator was holding a lobster until I really looked at the pic, lol.

Maybe they use it for coats for when they get cold. They might also double as a seriously ****** up Halloween costume for when Predators celebrate Halloween & try to stuff themselves into Human suits and go to conventions dressed as us in an attempt to look cool.

Yer all wrong sorry.
They simmer the skin in linseed oil for about two hours. This makes it softer and gives it a good sheen. They then use the treated skins to make vests or boob tubes for when they go clubbin' and similar events. I'm told that the treated skin works well as a chamois and absorbs perspiration when strutting their stuff. The linseed oil also helps prevent chafing.
On a similar note...
Alien hide is very much tougher (as you know) and they apply this for motorcycle wear. Simmering time is a lot longer though.
I was on holiday in Ibiza recently and was talking to a female Pred in SPACE, a well known club. Anyway we were having this very conversation. Can't remember much after that though, I think she may have slipped me something.
