There is a big difference between the steer and the goat, I thought it's not that noticeable but I took a picture today of the Cr and my second jacket and the goat has got much more character. After wearing the CR in the past months, shows very little signs of wear so I understand why Shawn is considering this as a good leather for fashion jacket. The goat on the other hand already develops some creases and it's just a different story.

What kind of goat is that? Black Five * "regular" goat or the "better" one?
I'm thinking of an black A-2...
But it's not standard, is it? I mean you wrote that it was treated somehow?It's the premium black goatskin. Shawn said it's 1.3mm although it seems thicker to me.

I think it helped. Because I have the same leather on my Cafe racer, but it looks less grainy and has less character. I would order just like you next time.Yes sorry, it was waxed and ironed by them to be shinier. I don't know if the whole process is helping with the leather development but it definitely doesn't look dull anymore.

One of the best 5* jackets. top.
Interesting creasing .My hide looks exactly the same in appearance after waxing it myself but it doesn't have those heavy creases .I wonder if they just call it wax . Some leather tanneage suppliers sell sheen finishes that are polymer based .It could be some kind of finish that soaks into the top grain that stiffens it up a little .That would explain the thick feeling leather to me since the goat is very supple .
As a matter of fact I found out that they have compounds to fill in stich holes on heavy paint finished hides.
I'm with you on this one, I wasn't expecting to get such results after this treatment so I'd say it's worth giving it a try. This is how it looks now after more wear.
