Sorry for the OT, but I'd be really interested if you cared to elaborate this.

Sure. I can try. My Monarch feels really nice. It feels very sturdy and able to handle my rough wearing of it (no pun intended
). It’s not plastic feeling but it’s not buttery soft. Maybe it is a touch softer in the areas on the jacket that are smoother.
On my BK, the leather actually feels so soft as if it were chrome tanned. I know it’s veg tanned though. It’s just a different feel to the leather. I would say there are parts of the jacket where I feel, of the two, the BK would be less durable. I think that’s how the leather feels though. Not thin feeling but just so soft you sort of want to treat it a little better. However seeing how Matt wears his, I suspect this is every bit as tough as my ELC monarch.
I don’t know if that made sense or gave you a better idea of my meaning when I wrote that or not, but I am not meaning one is better than the other. Just way different leather.
