Distressing of horsehide

I really like the look of Peters HH offerings, but am wondering as to how they will distress. I am a proponent of the natural distressing school of thought, but at the same time I don't want to have a jacket that I wear for years and years that still looks relatively new. Any thoughts from HH owners out there as to how this leather will age?

Thanks Walker

I'm not a HH owner, but I can tell you that horsehide is one of the toughest, if not the toughest leather around. I guess depending on how it was tanned, it may wear like armor plate.

Well, Im one of the newer HH owners, so mine hasn't really started to distress at all, but one of the other guys can jump in here (Hey Rob!?). And to my knowledge none of us HH owners have gone the artificial route yet, so there may not be much info for you. In the few places it has worn through a teeny bit (bottom of storm flap), the under color of mine has a tinge of red to it.
