Sure. Here's my well-worn, trusty Wested Horsehide. Has seen quite some dust and gravel in the meantime. If you're up for durability, you can't go wrong with this one, imho.

Here's mine, not quite as great as Jens.

Brand new (seven and a half years ago!):

My latest picture of it I could find, in my unfinished Indy costume (from back in November time):

As you can see, it's practically bullet proof. I loved that jacket and wore it almost daily, weather permitting. It had been slept in, camped in, worn through rain storms and sunshine, and it still barely had a mark on it. These days, I've swapped it out for a shrunken lambskin Indy jacket, as it suits the milder weather a lot better, but I still wear it when the weather gets heavy.

The lining inside is falling apart and all torn, but there's only a few scratches on the leather, and at a glance, as you can see, it still looks pretty new.

That's the same bag strap too, but that actually shows wear!
