Default Transfers on leather???

This is possibly a silly question but.....
I know that leather and heat do not a perfect marrage make, but, considering
that transfers are pressed on thin nylon jackets which are more likely to readily melt (in theory) my question is:

Has anyone tried plastisol transfers or vinyls like Thermoflex on leather of any kind (not glove leather)? would it theoreticly be possible from what you guys know about doing nylon jackets??

I have screen printed leather jackets, I think we used either vinyl or poster ink. We didn't use plastisol. Plastisol Transfers might work if you put a lot of powder on them.

They do make a style of ThermoFlex that will adhere to leather, so it must be possible.

I'm not sure if plastisol or inkjet/laser transfers will, tho...
