I like Rush, the band itself and the music. Doesnt matter to me how many male or female fans they have. I also like the Vanson jacket - I would wear it, with or without Rush banner on it.
In Germany we have "normal" Shopping Malls for clothing which sell mainstream leather jackets from Diesel or others in a price range of 800-1500 Euros = 1000-2000$. And these jackets have thin leather, not comparable to any Horsehide thick Steerhide.

Well, my first post here, after some time only reading silently. Maybe I can help clarify some things here. Is that jacket a pure aniline one? Because if it is pure aniline leather, even if it is strong horsehide, it would not be water resistent. There are some very expensive aniline jackets...
