I can't say I find it attractive, personally.

It looks like someone took a shotgun loaded with rock salt to it (or made a buffalo bill suit out of Freddy Kruger’s sack). Yeah. Not an attractive hide and a good case to give up pork chops.

Oh I don't know, but I have seen a tastier bacon sandwich.

That looks nasty.

That said, heard and read that well tanned pigskin near-equals cowhide and horsehide in quality and grain. It's amazing how nice the leather can look when done right, just that it's not widely used in clothes because of our provincial notion that pigs are... whatever, inferior to other animals.

I know I can't really criticize being the owner of a cape skin jacket, but that one just says elephant's ball sack to me.

Elephants balls? I've never got that close, moth balls I've seen, but an elephant's crotch nuggets, too dangerous.

I was wanting this jacket. Now everyone is going to want it!

The Block Bilt label is very cool. I have another ladies jacket in pigskin I bought, in part, for Seattle Woolen label.

Lol, where do you guys find these jackets!? I've seen a number of pigskin jackets, NONE looked like that! Here's one, for example:

Instead of Pecards, think i’d have to treat that one with some Acne cream.
At least till it got...well, out of puberty.

They look perforated maybe it is an ideal summer leather jacket.

They look like chainsaw vs scrotum. Neither party won but everyone who bears witness suffers a loss. This is scorched earth hide. The OP’s jacket especially...it should be destroyed. With extreme prejudice.
