Hey Wilddogs,
This is not really an ADV-specific moto question, but:
I've become fond of good African leather in my boots for off-bike wear - something about y'all's cows, maybe, but the leather is really excellent quality, feels great to the touch, and looks lekker in a natural color. Got one pair of Ethiopian-sourced voeldskens and one pair of SA-sourced/made ranger boots. Made me wonder - is anyone in Southern Africa making moto jackets out of African-sourced leather? Most of the results under just googling "South African leather jackets" were fashionable but not roadworthy!
Cheers
