    Goat or cowhide for winter?

    thanks for the informative reply! it's quite old and there's only a 'genuine' leather tag on it, so it's likely not from somebody super reputable

    Goat or cowhide for winter?

    i am looking for another b-15 in leather to replace it actually. I just wanted to get something higher quality that will last and needed some opinions. I was able to find out that my first one was fully cotton lined inside except for the sleeves

    Goat or cowhide for winter?

    Goat or cowhide for winter?

    thanks for the reply! a lot of people tell me i have good cold resistance, but that really isn't true. I am chronically anemic and i get cold at room temperature. leather is just really good at keeping the wind out in my experience...like i've had -30C/-20F and i was never cold in my upper body...

    Goat or cowhide for winter?

    Hi all. I am looking for a new winter jacket that can stand up to Canadian winters. For the past decade i've used my fathers old b-15 bomber jacket and I am unsure as to what leather it was as is was already well-worn when he gave it to me. It weighed over 5 1/2 pounds, and not ONCE on the...

    thanks for the in-depth reply. I'm getting a leather one in the style you posted, and am waiting to hear from Johnson. I was thinking goat, but if you think horsehide is a good choice, i can inquire about that

    Anybody trust etsy?

    yeah that what has me worried. I reached out and he seemed confident but there's only a couple of pictured reviews with jackets. Not sure about the quality, but from a glance it doesn't look to be top notch

    Ask a question, get an answer

    looking for a lightweight spring jacket, would cotton lining be fine? i wanted a bomber style coat but would having a fur trim around the cuffs, waste, and collar look stupid? should i go for a knit/ribbon trim?
