Dear Fedora Lounge,
This might be (and probably is) an embarrassing question coming from - more or less - a leather amateur. A few weeks ago I had two jackets custom made. Both are from the same exact same type of steerhide.
The first jacket's thickness was supposed to be around 0,9 mm, and...
I'm interested in the most important differences between buffalo hide and steerhide, and there is some conflicting/confusing information online, so I thought I'd ask the real experts...
1.) In terms of "weight", how different is the same exact jacket in 1,0 mm buffalo hide vs. 1,0 mm steerhide...

Would anyone be able to post pictures of the inside of some of FiveStar's specific A2 and G1 jackets? I'm interested in the inside pockets, how many and approximately how large they are. It would greatly help me regarding the custom jacket I'm working on.
Ideally I would want two inner pockets...
It's from mid 90s TV, see pictures below. I've asked on Reddit as well as on another forum and no one really had a clue. All the information I was given, that it's either a pilot / air-force jacket or a trucker / dock-worker jacket, but this does not seem to be accurate based on what I've seen...
