I use my Wested goatskin as a riding jacket, a horse hide jacket shouldn't be a problem. Like other's said horse hide holds up well, but try not to put it to the test, a Triumph is to nice to subject that too. And dumping a bike really puts a damper on the day.

Those Red Wings are something wonderful. If I'd known those existed a few weeks ago I would have ordered a pair from the Red Wing store I was in. Instead I got a pair of Red Wing 953, but they're not very Indy-ish, but now I know what to get next! Gave me hope for the future.

Thanks all, it's nice to have something I've wanted so long. I wore it out today and got a few jeers, but I just smiled since they couldn't understand. I'm definitely pleased I had such a great thing as a hatter so local to where I lived. I was a bit disappointed to find there wasn't one around here

Well, I'm 22 now, and have been a massive fan of Indy since well... since forever. In middle school it really took off and I think for a series of Halloweens I dressed up as Indy.

Fantastic jacket, I love mine. The goat is great
