    Horsehide VS. goatskin??

    Here is some good info on this topic: https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/threads/full-grain-or-top-grain.32509/ I'll add this.. I can't comment on AVI, but in the budget A-2 world you're speaking of, I had a Fivestar horse (veg-tanned) and still have a Headwind Bronco (chrome-tanned). I can...

However, I reached out to the owner Josh a few weeks back, about ordering something else, and never heard back. I even sent a follow-up last week. I'm...
