I know this sounds crazy, but I'm beginning to suspect this jacket, one of the 99, as in dollars, some might say, is possibly/maybe/perhaps
horsehide. I have a couple of goat jackets and this is just
notlike them. It has some grain showing, wrinkling nice with wear, and actually feels pretty tough. Reasons I would not have assumed it could be horse are 1) it was not expensive, 2) it was not so described , 3) no tag specifying horse is visible, 3) I have never handled a jacket known to be horsehide, and therefore could not offer my own knowledgeable opinion and 4) I would have expected horsehide to be a bit stiffer/thicker than this jacket, aware that varying thickness/weight of hides exist and maybe cheaper jackets use th lighter weights. Perhaps not consistently though, I understand as well. Maybe the photos I posted in this thread would be helpful to the cognoscenti of the forum in confirming or dispelling this notion of mine. Fire at will. :lol:
