In several recent threads, there have been comments regarding certain leathers have more “character” and grain than others, and the varying preferences among leather jacket patrons. This got me thinking: What amount of character/grain is preferable in a new jacket? Do most folks prefer a lot of character/grain – perhaps as much as possible – or do most folks prefer a middle ground somewhere less than maximum character/grain? Assuming something less than maximum character/grain is desirable, what is the ideal balance? What is the ideal amount of character/grain for a new jacket? I suspect it depends on several factors, including the type of jacket.
So what say you? What amount of character and grain do you prefer in a new jacket? What is the perfect balance for you? Photos speak a thousand words; therefore, please post photos depicting desirable character/grain.

Now that is some juicy character/grain. Here is another jacket with some heavy character/grain:
Do the above-jackets have the right amount of character/grain? Too much? Not enough?

Here is a jacket with less grain:
What do you prefer? Post photos.
