    Schott CAF1: how to tame the flare?

    The jacket is raw and stiff so it flares out oddly at the moment. Perhaps I should see how it looks after it's broken in. And then switch to comet if I still don't like it

    Hillside leather jackets...any owners here?

    How are you finding your Hillside horsehide? I recently came across them and found their horsehide CR affordable. I know they are not Aero or Schott, but would you recommend it?

    Is this Schott defective?

    Came across on eBay this Schott jacket with dry and cracked leather. I remember Schott selling a similar jacket as defective. Can this be fixed with a leather conditioner? thanks
