The comments are awesome
This is the dumbest **** I've ever read. Real men "” real American men "” don't care about fashion or trends, they care about style, and style doesn't require "innovation" in the form of drop-crotch shorts and mesh shirts ("I am ahead of the curve and complicated and therefore I am wearing ALL BLACK.")

really funny how this model seems to apply to all BS classes.

Though Im currently in one that is an absolute nightmare and I am close to failing. Follows that same basic model but the volume of work is huge and the classmates and teacher display a brand of stupidity that is painful.

I'm gonna lean towards calf, since the grain seems pretty smooth, but it could be front quarter horse. It's creasing and graining like calf. Calf and horse can both be thick naturally, over 2mm thick if you want it that thick. Bridle cow leather is obviously very thick, it goes up to like 6mm or more.
