I have heard that the cowhide used now is different than in the
past. If this is true, what is the difference? I have a cowhide LC
that I ordered in late '98 or early '99 (can't remember exactly) that
I'm going to replace because the chest is too small (it was a little
tight when I got it then, and my chest has slowly but surely
expanded due to pumping iron :-) ) and the satin lining is full of
holes from wearing a backpack all the time. I am thinking of
ordering the cowhide again, as it is tougher and thicker/warmer
(I live in Minneapolis). Also, I've heard mention of getting these
jackets "slightly" pre-distressed... anyone have experience with
this? I would like some "worn" look to it, but not as severe as the
fully distressed jackets are. My current jacket is just barely
starting to show wear at the edges after almost 3 years, it's
almost imperceptible; and yes, this jacket has been thru some
rough situations :-)

Thanks for any info!
