Considering the Aero A-1 and need members comments on the characteristics of their horsehide. Aero indicates on their site the following leather choices for the A-1:
Seal Smooth - Horsehide
Oiled-Horsehide
Brown -Vintage-Horsehide
I like horsehide however, historically my A-2 horsehides (non-Aero) seem to take me forever to break in and are stiff. Can any member speak to the characteristics of the Aero horsehide mentioned above (ease of breaking in, thickness, pliability, etc.,)? Not sure they still make the capeskin but, I would prefer the horsehide if the stiffness issue can be avoided. Thanks :?
