The Front Quarter Chrome Tanned Horsehide used in the construction of Hillside USA's jackets-Vests-Chaps was favored by manufacturers during pre-war years after the introduction, in the 1950's, of a law prohibiting horses being slaughtered for leather, hides became a scarce commodity and therefore expensive, resulting in tanneries phasing out horsehide production in favor of the more readily available hides such as Cowhide. Horsehide has many unique properties, it is immensely strong and durable even in the extreme conditions and, unlike other hides, horsehide is naturally waterproof. We are proud to introduced our exclusive Horsehide Collection, which has been upgraded with amazing features such as removable Full Sleeve Thinsulate Zip Out Liner with knitted cuffs, All Leather Lined Pockets, Two inside Pistol Pockets (approx. 9" deep) close with a snap on one side and the other with a zipper, both have a small internal pocket (4" x 4") for a gun barrel or cell phone, Heavy Poly Twill shell, an extremely durable lining. YKK silver hardware.
Hillside USA's Horsehide Collection is simply a Lifetime Investment.
