So it stands up, it kinda dont look like it from the pictures, but I think I understand how the hide feels now. As you say its gonna take years for it to become soft for real.

I think it looks beautiful.

Nice jacket! Is the front length longer than the back? Great fit - enjoy!

Did you see the pics

i tried to stand it up but it crumped, so is "softer" than i thought. it is kind of "soft" for such a thick hide. perfect for what i wanted, it would be a great bike jacket.

Mate, that is awsome! Would be keen to see the one you might be offloading too.......

I think steer gets a bum rap. It is like "clay". That might be the best description yet. FQHH takes some work, whereas steer is nice as-new. Both have their place in my closet, but I think it gets overlooked and under appreciated quite often.

Lovely jacket....did you get sizing specs for a 48" off them? Waiting for a reply from them re sizing....wonder if they cut slim or big, or maybe even true( whatever that is)....dying to get specs. What did you think of the shiny steer?

Like it. I have an oil pull steer that is thick and soft.

i gave amanda my measurements and got the 48, which is a good fit, it's not cut like the 50's HB it's a"slimer" cut with room for by beer gut. basically thats the only part of me thats out of proportion to a normal fit, so a slim fit works for me. However, in this hide it's kind of restricting now, untill it breaks. the shiny hide is much softer and thinner than this one. this is a very heavy jacket, the shipping weight was 4 kilos.
