Quick update that I wore my new FQHH Highwayman today and it is, at least for me, as comfortable as a sweater. No fatigue whatsoever, didn't even feel as though I had it on, even though it fits like a glove. In the light of day, the horsehide does show imperfections, such as light scratches, so if things like that bother you, horsehide might not be for you.

Things like that make me think back to the horse slaughter issue, where if the industry was allowed to slaughter younger, healthier horses, the hides might be stronger and better.

The thought of slaughtering younger and healthier horses in the interest of enhancing my leather jacket seems overly gruesome and self-centered. If more humane regulations result in a lower grade of horsehide, that's a compromise I can live with.

It is better than having them rot on a long-distance train to a mexican slaughterhouse. And to be cynical, I don't see anyone complaining about veal chops...
