It's not all that old. Late '60s I think.

It's only been treated with an Aloe based leather cream.

Not that old?

As you can tell, as we age, time is relative.

Base on the above, you do realize we're talking about a 40 year old jacket that still looks great, don't you? Your jacket is twice the age of several of the members here!

I don't know what people see in goat skin. It doesn't look good, doesn't feel good, doesn't smell good, doesn't age well, has no character. Personally I don't even regard it as leather - more as a biodegradeable plastic.

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 7:18 pm

Seriously, moses?

It's a HIGHLY durable hide capable of putting up with a lot of abuse. I can see exactly why the military would want to use it.

crismans · Post by **crismans** » Sat Jul 04, 2009 7:41 pm

It does have character, it just takes longer to get there because it is so durable.

Really, in terms of drape and durability, goat is about the best hide to use if you're trying to blend SA and real world for an Indy jacket. And I have come across some goat hide that smelled fairly rank, the jackets I've had are much less strong in the olfactory department.

See thats why i say mine isn't all that old

nice ToD pockets

moses · Post by **moses** » Sun Jul 05, 2009 8:08 am

Still looks like plastic to me. And I'm not saying goat isn't durable- I know it is. But I've never held a goatskin that didn't feel like plastic.

Here's Ernie, a WWII naval aviator, wearing his original issue goatskin M-422A.

After all these years both are still going strong.

wow. that looks great. I just love the way natural distressing looks.

That is not nat'l distressing. When he was issued it back in the 40's he took sandpaper to it to make it look like a jacket from a movie he liked!

It may have been his first post, but he's been here since 2008

so it's safe to assume it was a joke or misunderstanding.

Guys, Great pictures! Love Ernie's jacket! It really looks well lived in, but it is in an amazingly good condition for such an old jacket

Yeah, but which movie?

Maybe it was Gunga Din released in 1939. In that movie, set in India, a scoundrel (Cary Grant) seeks to make his fortune (and glory) by plundering a secret golden temple belonging to the murderous Thugee cult (lead by a fanatical guru.)

Oh… wait…no leather jackets in that movie. It’s hot in India.

But prim British uniforms galore. And they didn't break a sweat until the fighting started. I'd be drenched just standing in those uniforms.
