In view of the adverse comments expressed on both fora, I'm simply relieved to have an order placed with JC at Good Wear. A longer wait certainly, but no qualms about how the process operates.
A conspiracy theory sounds a little dramatic - if you read the thread on the VLJF the poster became aware of the pricing discrepancy before placing an order, became concerned, and posted. I don't think that he'd have considered holiday dates before doing so.
I have an AN-J-3 made by McGregor/Doniger in ca. 1943 from a similar hide to the bag (a thicker ca. 1.5-2 mm capeskin or older sheepskin) and it is plush, supple and strong. A very practical wearer.
