Yeah, they will always have a sort of rigid quality to them and never soften into anything like a naked cow or lamb.
Yeah, I mean I kinda knew what I was getting into, but everyone says oh it breaks in with time, but broken in still means the jacket can still...
Yeah, from my experiences which is not remotely close to be all encompassing, HH tends to be stiffer and robust than cowhide, my theory is that...
I've had this conversation here before regarding costs. Consider that the cost of enough CXL leather to make a jacket is about 400-500, then you...
Mmm, this is a great explanation and gives me more insight on what I'm probably totally missing, and beef jerky comparison is perfect. Yeah, I...
Yeah, I echo alot of what was mentioned. Another comparison could be drawn to denim, the mainstream offerings are essentially broken in, soft,...
Nice, I like how you said it's having tea, lol.

Sorry, late to this party, but here's my answer. It's how you perceive quality and how hyped it is in your own head. The market dictates price, so...
Nice man! I always had a soft spot for Schotts, like you said, at the end of the day, if it makes you happy and you're able to spend it, do it. So...
