A seller listed a "horsehide" A-2 jacket for sale on the bay: VTG HORSEHIDE LEATHER AIR FORCE A2 STYLE FLIGHT JACKET. The jacket didn't appear to be a high quality repro, it had hand warmer pockets. I asked the seller if there was a label that said the jacket was made of horsehide. The seller responded;
This kind of puzzles me since baseball gloves are usually made of steerhide or cowhide, so if the jacket smelled like a baseball glove then logically, wouldn't it be steer or cowhide and not horsehide.
"Thank you for your interest in this item. There is no label. I can tell that it is horse hide because it smells like horse hide which smells like an old baseball glove.
Thank you."
