Which leather for the garden party ?

don't own a garden party but have seen many in the stores. prefer the gp in fjord in terms of shape, looks more rigid and structured, compared to negonda.
 
I've both leather in the GP and they are both great. The Fjord has deeper veins in the leather and thicker while negonda has smaller grains. If you prefer the look of bigger grains, go for the Fjord. I have a gold GP as well and love the big veins and grainy look. Hope this helps.
 
The Negonda IMO is the best, it's very durable esp if you are going to use it everyday! One time I got reined on with my GP, came home and it dried up nicely, no water stains at all!
