About five years ago Stuart sold a number of these in small women's sizes on eBay. IIRC they were all advertised as horsehide, but I'm not 100 % sure. He told me they were made from "leftover" hides for the Japanese market and that they didn't reflect more recent LW quality. I bought one for my girlfriend and we liked it a lot, only resold it b/c it wasn't the right size. The leather had a very nice texture and smell and was certainly more hard-wearing and rugged than supposedly high quality stuff like Schott's naked cowhide.

IIRC his Flamingo label jackets are from the 90s.
Too bad this isn't my size, otherwise I'd buy it. I really like this leather.

Yes, I love the leather. I kept it because of this reason. However, I have way too many jackets and do not ride the road king as much as I used to. Thanks for sharing!
