Where do you find all these great jackets? eBay?

Another unique piece that could only come from your collection.

Oh hail yeah! That is a NICE looking jacket.

Wow! Now that is some awesome patina!!! Vintage goatskin has a truly unique look that you only get through 30, 40, 50 years of wear...and it only looks better with age. Congrats!

I like it a lot. I don't think I'll ever learn to appreciate goatskin for completely subjective reasons but I really dig this jacket nonetheless.

That Talon zip alone is a work of art. This really is a cool jacket. Unusual collar design and very unique details. Nothing short of spectacular and rare. Just what we'd expect from the collection of TM!

That jacket is Holy Grail status. Superb in every way. I think it's the best jacket of that style I've ever seen.

Finally, a goat jacket that shows both patina and graining. A good find.

I forgot the reference to this Rin Tanaka book.

I've got another to post that is older. Wait until you see that Zipper. I'm going to pull all my "interesting" zipper pics and put them in a thread. I'm not expert. I go by dinnerman's reference.

I like that collar too.

I have a nice collection of 30s Goat Skin. The Goat really holds up well. The next one to post is even more interesting and even smaller.
If the light is good I will do some more pics today.

That back on the jacket is really interesting and unique. A very intricate design that looks fantastic! Great jacket.

The most intriguing feature for me is the collar. Beautiful hide!

I've seen that jacket somewhere else and was not on any book. Might have been Ebay and I didn't bid because it was too small or too expensive.

It's an amazing jacket. Goatskin holds better with age than horsehide in my opinion.

I don't think there is any question about that. Better than HH or steer.

Yes, I agree the Old Goat holds up very well. I've also seen some very brittle Goat jackets.

I see the pre-goat as the Style Leaders, nice for California. Easy to wear, responds well to design work. Difficult to find these Stylish jackets in Horsehide.
