The real heath danger are these jackets made from 6+ ounce leather -- wearing 15 pound jackets will surely cause a panoply of musculoskeletal ailments.

For me leather jackets, either by way of physically owning, through the learning process, or the community here is a healthy thing. I need an outet. This jacket thing helps bring my mind away from the stressors of everyday life. Sure, it’s expensive, and money is probably spent better elsewhere, but to be honest we deserve a little enjoyment when we’re all out there taking care of others.
Everything is bad for you - sunshine, meat, softdrink, plastic bags, shampoo, asbestos, tight underpants, social media... leather jackets. Living is dangerous. I once had a scientist tell me that cotton was one of the most dangerous materials on earth on account of it beign grown with the most hazardous pesticide chemicals available to man. We live in the age of panic and I personally don't worry about what might be harmful or not and I am sure leather jackets are only harmful to your bank acount as others have said.

I sold off a Lost Worlds Downtown car coat for that reason. That was one heavy coat. Lost some skin on my thumbs from the buttoning / unbuttoning as well.The real heath danger are these jackets made from 6+ ounce leather -- wearing 15 pound jackets will surely cause a panoply of musculoskeletal ailments.

Yes, my mental health. It makes me feel cool, classy, and a little less ugly.

To be fair, a recent study found that boxers are better than briefs when it comes to the recruitment of a man's little white navy.

Did the study specify if the boxers were of horsehide, cowhide, or goatskin construction?
That's not new. I remember ready a study making that claim in the late 1970's when men's supertight nylon micro-briefs first became fashionable.
I was just thinking about this.
To me, the CXL aroma is very pleasant and addictive, it is one of the reasons I got drawn to the Horween leather. It reminds me of some kind of butter mixed with botanical extract. I really want to know what it is because it is NOT the smell of leather, it is some tanning chemical or perfume added later on.
On the other hand, the horsehide used by Schott (Italian) has a distinct caustic smell. Both are because of "chemicals" but the former is plant-based the latter is probably synthetic/inorganic.
