    Heaviest leather jacket?

    Heaviest leather jacket?

    One of my former patients who I performed replantation surgery of the right thumb told me that he will make a brown bear fur jacket. The guy is a professional hunter, a Mataji hunting in the deep mountainous area in Yamagata prefecture. I have a vague feeling that the jacket smells bad.
