@indigostiff It's Natural horsehide leather

@indigostiff he's wearing a white t-shirt, if you compare that to the color of the PR, that gives an idea of the color. Does that help?
-
@Nick IH ran a similar overshirt a few years back in ivory. This looks the same, from what I recall.
-
This new material looks so much like chrome tanned leather, it's wild. Doesn't seem to have all the benefits of veg tan (satisfying break in, darkening in high wear areas, accepting conditioner to caramelize the color, etc). As cool as it sounds to have something that's immediately soft and supple, I'm afraid I would lose interest if there's nothing to "work for." Will likely pass on this leather.
-
@indigo_fades You said that well. In short, for me, it lacks the "raw" aesthetic of the prior version. The color, too, lacks the honey-hue of the prior model. And I'm not much for the pebbling either. Just personal preferences here.

I’m probably in the minority but I love the natural almost white leather. I would love it if it stayed like that. Same as my jeans, I enjoy them most when they are fresh and crisp like new. I’d want them to stay like that forever.
