Great discussion so far and thanks for all of the input. Sometimes I think that it's a bit easier to focus on the type of hide rather than the tanning process involved. I've been stuck out in a downpour while walking for a couple of miles in my steerhide jacket and it kept me remarkably dry and the leather itself was not soaked, which I would attribute primarily to the Chromexcel tanning process involved.
Interesting that goat would be mentioned as it is another great option. When I purchased my riding jacket I went with steerhide, but I was very tempted by the goatskin that Langlitz offers. I did end up with goatskin riding pants. Goat is indeed very tough yet very supple and another fine choice.
