lol, didnt shoot the moose either. pathetic, i know. never even been to alaska. but i bought it from the guy who did. (my brothers father in law) i was gonna go with gator or ostrich, but fealt those are too stand-outish (if thats a word) was gonna go with a shiny black leather but then i saw the moose and it was so thick and soft and smells better than any leather ive ever seen. he said it was a BITCH to sew though.

the seat was a mammoth choppers solo seat. it was pretty comfy before, but even more so now.

Yea, I can imagine, that's thick leather. Should last a lifetime though. Just keep it oiled up...

very cool classic look... nice "weight" to it.... the only thing I would have done different would be to sew the yoke flush with the pleated nose panel, not sitting up on top of it......
