I've heard many people express fear about the durability of lambskin.
I'd like to know how many people have actually torn their lambskin
jackets? I have to admit the lamb feels very light, especially
compared to cowhide, but I like it. I live in southern California &
have been wearing an A2 or G1 for over fifteen years. The problem I
have is that it gets too hot to wear them here on many days. I don't
have that trouble with the Indy lambskin. I initially had a problem
with the idea of lamb, so I got a goatskin Indy from US Wings. I liked
the craftsmanship of the jacket, but I had a problem with the leather.
Normally I love goatskin. The problem was not the quality of the
leather itself, which was good. I just thought it was wrong for an
Indy jacket. It just didn't drape right and the texture was wrong for
an Indy jacket. I decided to go with the lamb for authenticity's sake.
I'm lovin' the lambskin, but now back to my question. Has anyone torn
their jacket? Should I take extra precaution when I wear it? Should I
get a "thrasher" jacket made out of something else? I don't want to be
too hot. What do you all
