    Left is a salmon skin jacket and the right is a polar bear fur coat. Practically animal skin can be made into a jacket.

    That’s a good idea. Is there any other hide that is as strong as kangaroo hide? By the way, I saw a salmon skin leather jacket.

    Kevlar reinforced rods are said to be 10 times stronger than steel rods when compared at the same weight. But I prefer high carbon steel anyway. The same thing might be said about Kangaroo leather and bullhide. If I wanted a very strong, anti-abrasive garment I’ll choose Spectra guard jacket...

    Thank you for such a thorough and detailed answer. I’m not a racer, as a matter of fact my job is to treat those who crashed, a plastic surgeon. When Schott 184SM was imported in Japan and sold at Ameyoko, a cluster of small shops in Ueno, Tokyo I fell in love with it because the leather was so...

    Oh, My God! That’s even worse than Langlitz stopped talking direct orders from Japan. Japan is the only country in the world that cannot buy Langlitz jackets directly.

    B2 flight jacket made by a Japanese company ‘ the Few’. I was interested in the enormous mouton fur collar. The jacket is made of 1.1 mm thick buffalo hide.

    I just wanted a ridiculously thick leather jacket. Japan made leather jackets are very thin. Schott and Spiewak are better than Japanese jackets but still not enough.

    These are the mountain boots that’s made of Gallo-Juchiten leather. It’s approximately 8 ounce (3.5 mm) thick. The 1st 2 photos are Kamoshika Sporting goods made Chomolungma. 3rd and 4th photos are Ando Seika made Pulse 7000G. They’re both made in Japan. The last photo is Scarpa Blenta boots...

    I’m Arrandale. I got a lot of valuable information concerning horsehide from a member. In Japan horses are only seen in horse racing. Horsehide is probably imported before being tanned.

    I’m sorry. The reply was interrupted. I started doubting about horsehide being much better than cowhide when I saw this article about the tannery in Switzerland called Gallusser and their steerhide called Gallo-Juchten leather. It’s used to make the old fashioned all-leather mountain boots such...
