    Elk Hide

    Anyone have a jacket made out of Elk?? My supplier sent me some pics of some smooth grain Elk hides he just received & it looks very similar to horse. May have some samples sent to check out & see how it feels.

    this has to be one of the Nicest G-1's I've had. It doesn't look like it was ever worn! One of the cuffs did have a tear in it, so replaced both cuffs, but everything else is original. It's a size 38, can provide more pics/ actual measurements if needed. Would be hard to upgrade this one...
