600-800$ isn't mid range to me .1000-3000$ is luxury level to me . I don't know anyone that would see a 600$ piece of clothing as midrange. Sure it is midrange here because people are invested in this field but the every day joe probably wears 80$ boots and 60-200$ mall jackets

I also own copies of saddle back bags . Yes they do have shortcuts but they are made of 2mm crazy horse leather.Heavy duty metal hardware and brass zips and clasps . These bags have been through a lot .I use all of my "fast fashion" alternatives like the real thing was intended to with no ill...

I know what you mean. These things don't fit into the category because they don't have any heritage, traditions, etc . They just try to be a short cut version or they just steal the heritage of a long standing company. I do think that the fast fashion versions have certain qualities of the...

They don't plan on making more jackets out of it because they don't have the experience in working with such a firm hide . It was a one off thing they tried for me and they don't advise to do it again . Isn't CXL also a leather primarily used or intended for footwear? Yet people love it for...

Vanson horsehide vs Pakistan Cowhide Same thickness and temper Same level of surface sheen

I know the thing isn't perfect .I am not trying to make it anything that it isn't. I am just trying to understand why there never seems to be a middle ground here. It seems to me that things here are either perfect or complete trash. I know the whole heritage clothing thing is about long...

The construction quality isn't as good I know but this is a unfamiliar leather to them .This leather is normally used for boots, cowboy hats,bags etc with less intricate and shorter seams . Now to the flat appearance it is a pigment finish with a lighter color underneath. Didn't people heavily...

What's so different to the sleeves curvature of this Field Leather to mine ?

Or people enlighten me what you see differently from these hides which makes them so much more desirable. To me this is just as flat with a high shine finish Comically this LW has some resemblance in some areas with the "mistakes" made by the Pakistani company such as the throat latch being...

I understand that you don't like it but enlighten me about the leather being "so awful" .I know you have handled more jackets then me . I think the surface doesn't look that different to the naked cowhide from my schott .The surface isn't sanded to remove all imperfections.The pores are clearly...

I mean the backside looks good and the sleeve curve looks good to me too. They fixed the cuff . The collar looks spot on . The front drop looks decent . However the huge buttons and the spacing of the third button makes it look really bad to me. Also the "waistband" is way to long . I should...
