I wonder how this spongy kudu leather would fare as protection to wear while riding motorcycles. I know that goat is quite strong for its thickness, and more spongy, so this stuff might be even better than horse or steer, who knows?
I've always been intrigued with the idea of combining a lower back for riding and a shorter front with a 1930's style. It would make for an interesting hybrid. The Cossack design could be adapted for motorcycle riding. Yes, it would no longer be 1930's but it would still not quite be 1960's or newer either in style. That back pleat up in the shoulders might look interesting with some kidney protection lower down on a jacket's back.
I can't really ride with my current 1930's half belt. The front is not comfortable in the riding position. It hits my tank and folds back. I wouldn't want to crease it that way. There's nothing worse than a 1930's that sticks out funny in front.
