Do you agree with the above statement?
I don't.
I haven't recently seen (recently is the last 5 years that I can remember) any repro jackets with enough grain to compare to originals.
I do maintain the view that repro makers advertise on their website the most grainy jackets they have (it's normal) but then when you buy it's not as grainy because I guess with the leathers they use they can make 1 grainy for every 20 jackets they make. That is perhaps why GW's sale page is so popular because customers can see the exact same jacket that they are buying while when buying for example from ELC or others they don't know what they are going to get.
I heard some voices that they say sold some grainy jackets, but then I guess we are not talking about the same "grain".
If you own a jacket that has been purchased recently, have seen, or sold a grainy jacket of which the grain can be compared to grainy originals please post here for all of us to see.
If not, then I guess the subject statement is not true.
Thanks.
