Yeah. All I’ve read is that goat is super abrasion resistant and as such the perfect MC gear. It can be thinner, lighter, easier to wear and still protect the rider in case of dismount. But to me, the pros don’t outweigh the cons. So I’ve sold off a few goat jackets. Like you, I just prefer other hides.
If I find a LW moose in my size that isn’t instantaneously sniped by one of a few TFL members (they know exactly who they are lol), I wouldn’t hesitate. Or LW deer.
I don't ride but that makes perfect sense, loungers also mention kangaroo skin in the same breath. Yep, members here have so many jackets that we barely wear them enough to show wear/patina before we move on to the next jacket lol
yes, moosehide is so interesting to me. That would be so cool to wear. A thick deerskin is also on the want list. It's not often jackets my size show up so not too hopeful on a LW
