    Yes, perhaps this. Also, it for sure needs some break in, which will come with time. Just want to comment on something. When I look at some high end jackets online like Aero and some Japanese brands, none of them use leather as thick as 2mm. Thickest I have seen is 1.4mm. Heck, even Vanson...

    How thick is the horsehide you like? It’s been too warm to wear the jacket so I can’t comment on the progress of it. I will be wearing it in the fall a lot though. I actually just put it on again and 2mm is too thick. It will take a long time to break in. I will still wear it though! I haven’t...

This thing must weigh around 8lbs as it is 2mm steerhide -has a very slight chemical smell which I am comfident will go away once I air it out. I do smell leather though which I am sure will be more prominant once I start wearing it...

    Hello I’ve been lurking on here for a while and this is my very first post! I have been looking for a quality leather jacket, and came across Fivestar. The reason I chose them is because of this thread specifically and like how the jackets look on Ton, Mr. Proper and others. I went ahead and...
