U S Authentic's Vintage Horsehide

[alcon]

Has anyone had any experience with jackets made with US Authentic's Vintage Horsehide? How does it compare/contrast with their other HH? I have swatches but, there is nothing like seeing the HH on actual jackets. Any help would be appreciated.

Alcon,
The one jacket I had from US A. was an A2. Horsehide was very heavy.
It was also dark brown, almost black under the top finish color. When
it got some wear on the high spots it showed this dark leather in these
spots. I prefer wear to be lighter in color than the finish so I sold the
jacket. The jacket itself was very well made. Bullet-proof. Just My .02

Hi, those pictures of the custom A-1 are of my ex-jacket when new, it was great but it was a pull up leather not my ideal leather for a jacket. For me I wanted more surface character (wrinkleing, color that could wear away eventually, etc) but still not bad at all for the price - which I only remember as being more than fair for a custom horsehide jacket.
