No you are not. I also said I don't like Horween CXL for jacket but I think it is great boot leather. Some of my favourite boots are CXL.Langlitz will guarantee the fit. I don't think Himel will do that (maybe they do?) so right there my biz would go to Langlitz. For that kind of an upcharge I'd want a fit guarantee which you do get from Langlitz.
I have a sample of the Langlitz horse and it is darn nice. Probably the nicest horse hide I have seen in person. (I've owned Schott horse, currently own Rainbow Country and Colimbo in horse).
With Langlitz it was not worth $1200 to me since I am not wealthy but if I had the extra cash to spend, I'd do it and pony up no questions asked.
I am no fan of Horween CXL horsehide or steer for jackets. For boots it is ok but still I prefer other leathers. I think I am the only guy here who dislikes Horween CXL.
The shine on the horsehide goes away after a couple weeks of wear.
