The angular pockets are an acquired taste but they're a fair representation of the jackets of the period. The first reincarnation of the LVC Menlo in 2005 has very similar profiles.
I'd suggest goat - lightweight, very durable.
If it's good quality/well tanned hide (see John's vintage goat on the Good Wear site) then it will patinate.
I love capeskin for drape, but for durability goat is superior and the drape can be similar.

Aged hides split opinion it's true (this is a world away from '80's distressing). I don't have a problem with ageing if it's done well - and this look is very natural in the flesh. OTOH FQHH leaves me cold...
