I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I can't find the thread. Besides, I get a certain satisfaction from ruffling the feathers of those who would say, "THIS QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ASKED X NUMBER OF TIMES, IDIOT!"
That question is this:
I'm on the verge of purchasing a new Aero from Thurston. Either a Ridley or Hooch Hauler. Whichever style I go with, I plan to wear it until my dying day, which by current actuarial tables, should be somewhere in the vicinity of 2068. With that in mind, which leather will be the most durable/resilient until then? I'm guessing that the majority will say Chromexcel, but I'm torn between ordering Natural Chromexcel, Dark Seal Vicenza, and Tobacco Badalassi. I live in Los Angeles, but do enjoy traveling to places that aren't as consistently pleasant weather-wise. I don't want to ever have to think to myself, "Oooooh, my leather jacket can't handle rain/snow/sleet/meteorites." I want a jacket that isn't a little bitch, because I certainly have no plans to baby it.
Anyway, any and all thoughts would be appreciated, even from those who hate that this thread exists (and I've been around long enough to know there's at least one of you out there).
Thanks,
Max Von Chesapeake
