Thanks. I did not know that. I am confused of course, because their FB page labels it as cowhide:

Here is a cut and paste from the Bill Kelso lounge page:
The first jacket...
He never mentioned that steer was available.
The only leathers that he mentioned are the ones I already listed.
Badalassi dark seal or Capeskin in seal or perhaps russet.
Alright gentlemen,
I have decided to go with a Bill Kelso Aeronaut A-1. I have asked for the following measurements:
Aeronaut A-1 custom size 45
----------------------------
pit to pit 24.5
shoulders 19.75
back 24.75
sleeve 26
My chest measures 113-115 cm. So he told me to go with a...
It seems pretty obvious that this jacket wasn't his favourite jacket when flying. I mean, he ended up crashing and never made it home. Whatever he was wearing that day is long gone (I would hate to think this jacket was the one he was wearing when he crashed.... and that is very unlikely). I...
Mark wrote me tonight and told me that he isn't making the original Cossack design at the moment. He said he might make it at some point in the future.
I communicated very briefly with Mark at Norshor, and he never replied to my last email asking about sizes through FB. Not sure why. I will try and write him again.. Here is what he wrote me:

All,
I am smitten with the idea of purchasing this type of jacket. Both of these jackets cost approximately the same. I'm looking for opinions on which I should go with. Please educate me on the positives and negatives (if any) for choosing one over the other.
The aero looks much heavier...

Sadly, I ordered this jacket directly from the Schott factory in NY and it's too big for me. It's an XXL which equates to a size 48-50. It's probably the coolest jacket ever made and I've replaced it with a 118, so this one can go to a new owner. It comes with the original tags and was only worn...
All,
I'm looking at purchasing this jacket. I would appreciate hearing from others who own it. I wrote Eastman leather two days ago about the jacket, but they haven't replied to my email. I'm relatively new to leather jackets (I own a perfecto and a Pegasus D pocket "s") and I'm looking to add...
Good evening,
This is my first post and clearly I seem to be in the right place to ask if anyone can help
me find the toque, glasses and jacket that this fella is wearing in this picture.
Suggestions?
