Never seen goat in cordovan. SB do a burgundy which is what yours is in their Clayton HH. That’s a much lighter full grain vegetable tanned English hide by a very long standing tannery. I’ve had a swatch and it is very nice leather and much closer in weight to the old US forties and fifties FQHH...

Sabu The Elephant Boy, as I live and breath. He became very well known after that eponymous picture. I had no idea he joined the US Air Force. If it was called that then. I suppose he ended up in Hollywood and got older.…
