    You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover…

    I am with you, absolutely. Also, I'm tired of reading over and over again that or why Shinki HH is so expensive. I just wanted to explain the reason why that is, nothing more. Of course, all mentioned jackets manufacturers are top, have their own, wonderful leather. There is no ranking like...

    You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover…

    Originally, I just wanted to express that the two jackets look alike. But when it was said in a reply in the other thread, the ELMC jacket was an "alternative", which I probably mistakenly understood as a "replacement". In fact the two jackets are fundamentally differ, in particular because of...

    I just wanted to express that the new ELMC jacket is an option but not an equal replacement for the FW Mulholland. I probably have probs to explain differences what I understand in "option", "alternative" or "replacement" in English ;)

    Ha, ha, ha, that's what I thought, especially because English is not my mother language, as you can easily read... therefore I edited the introduction :)

    You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover…

    While writing a reply in the thread “New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star® Horsehide” I got a brainstorm to open a new thread: You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover… Edit: Or in other words: Certainly, you can have an opinion (cover), but is it based on experience (content)? There are some...

    New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star®️ Horsehide

    Undoubtedly, the leather used by Eastman Leather is very nice and good quality as well, but whether it's actually an "alternative" (in terms of a replacement) maybe more a "choice", once you've hit the shinki horsehide route... (meant is the shinki hh used by FW* :)). I don't want open a bootle...

    Good point. The dark spots are not noticable greasy as the other brighter leather sections. The jacket had from the beginning on darker sections (mottled). By wearing the jacket it darkened significantly at the points of stress. Also, the jacket get wet in a rain shower. But I think that's part...
