As a side note, this jacket is in goatskin and it is very interesting. I own leather jackets in horsehide (not Falcon), lamb (Falcon), and now goat (Falcon). I think the only other common leather I haven't tried is calf. The goat is soft and has a grain to it. You can't see the grain from more than a few feet away, but it provides some interesting surface detail. It isn't as soft as lamb, and lamb is very smooth with no grain. Goat does feel a little tougher than lamb, and it weighs a bit more, which is nice. My lamb MA-1 is so light that it actually doesn't drape that well. My horsehide jacket is extremely tough and feels like it could withstand any punishment I could throw at it. For those who have experience with calf, how would you compare it to other materials?
