I do like the my vanson model F. The leather used in my jacket reminds me of the CXL. Nice thick and grease. LOL. Vanson take on the jacket is excellent and will treat your wallet with dignity.
I was thinking, it is your jacket. I would not try to impose my opinion over others. However, I think the jacket looks great with the epaulets. If you ride, they can be a factor in keeping you alive in case of an accident.
I believe that capeskin is just a marketing name for sheep. I know it comes from the hills of South Africa but to me is just sheep. I have some Californias that came with that beautiful tan color. I can understand why if you are a pilot would like this hide when you are seating in the cockpit...
