I don’t want to put words in our new friends mouth, but I think he is probably passing through the “nothing but horse for me” phase of the journey. I spent a good while there myself and I’ve got the horsehide jackets to prove it!

Sounds like it.
Horses for Courses as they say.
A fun place to play but not the only game in town.
I think we’ve all visited there.

I would take deer over goat for that soft touch.

Otherwise if it has to be horse, then , 1mm thick horse should do the trick.

And as others have said there is no "perfect jacket" but there are great collections that are still evolving lol

I have also given up on finding that "Holy Grail" jacket.

Another vote for the Roadstar, amazing jacket in my book.

OP made a new post mentioning his horsehide jacket.

What did you decide to get in the end @domi8tor?
