This one was fun- thought you guys might like to see it. It's made out of Seal Brown Goat and has an A-1 body with M-422A windflap and tabs.

For sale is a Cable pattern A-2 in veg-tanned goatskin. I made this a while back and it has had minimal wear, but a lot of experimenting with how the goatskin looks (some discoloration under the collar). The zipper is a 50's Conmar with an original Crown puller. Knits, liner, etc in great shape...
