Hard to say which is better, your taste in music, or in leather jackets. Both are superb! I look at the album covers for playlist inspiration, I must admit. Keep em coming man! Y2 and GNR for the win.
Appetite is in my top 3(top 5 at least) best albums of all time, amazing stuff from start to finish that I never get tired of(so I had to get the vinyl with the old banned cover art lol) :D

Cheers!

I really like this Simmons Bilt jacket

That is a fine thing. I like their jackets and I really like their selection of hides. Mine all 'wear'/'hang' totally differently to my Aeros - not in a better or worse way, but the fits are different. My Klondike in black goatskin is really comfortable. The V2 in mahogany steer is also much lighter-feeling than its weight suggests. What hide is this?

This is the "unfinished" horsehide from the Conipel-tannery in Italy. It is a vegetable-tanned horsehide that starts off as a pale pink/white colour but rapidly darkens in natural light (but also rapidly picks ups stains from water, dirt, insects etc.).

It´s pretty substantial, but much less stiff than Aero´s CXL HH. Iron NHeart´s "Pale Rider" shirt/shacket is made from the same hide. It´s really a great leather if you can life with something that is ever changing.
