    Horween or Shinki- Whose horse is your pick?

    Hammer meets nail.Same thing goes for guitars.A few years ago the next best guitar to a vintage Strat or Tele was a Japanese copy.

    Recommend me a leather field jacket

    I always liked the Minnesota Field Jacket the dude from Superior Flight Apparel made. http://superiorjackets.com/?cat=10 I actually tried to order one but he was only taking orders for A2's.The old Cooper leather M65 jackets pop up on ebay from time to time.

    Modern horsehide or goatskin: which is more true to vintage leather?

    I agree.I own 3 vintage HH jackets and I would estimate the hides to be between 2.5-3 oz.

    Tailor for Motorcycle Jacket

    I'd have the tailor take about an inch off the sleeves.Have him reduce the chest area down to where it fits you snug but comfortably.As far as the the wrist,I'd have him reduce them as well.
